The SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers play 26 home games in 2026-27 at the St.Galler Kantonalbank Arena, which holds 6,100. In the National League since 2018 and based in the town of roses, the Lakers offer a friendly, lakeside hockey night close to Zurich.
Rapperswil-Jona Lakers: the lakeside club that returned to the top
Founded in 1945, SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers have been back in the National League since 2018. The club has no title, but it has a loyal local following and a growing profile among visitors who want to see hockey close to Zurich.
The Lakers represent two municipalities on Lake Zurich, and the arena is a social centre for the area. For visitors, the setting alone is worth the trip.
Rapperswil-Jona Lakers at the St.Galler Kantonalbank Arena
The St.Galler Kantonalbank Arena holds 6,100. It is a compact hall in which most seats are close to the ice, and the noise stays in the building. Access is easy by S-Bahn and bus, and there is parking nearby for those arriving by car.
Inside, expect a classic hockey environment with no-frills food stands and a vocal standing section. Arrive early to find your place.
Rapperswil-Jona Lakers fans: a friendly lakeside crowd
The Lakers crowd is known for being friendly and loud. Chants, drums and flags set the rhythm, and the mood is open to visitors. Families, school groups and long-time fans share the stands.
Because the town is a day-trip destination, you will meet fans from across the Zurich area and beyond. A club scarf is the traditional souvenir.
Rapperswil-Jona Lakers rivalries: ZSC and Davos
The ZSC Lions, the big neighbour in Zurich, play in Rapperswil on 27 November 2026 and 14 January 2027. HC Davos, a traditional rival, visit on 2 February 2027.
The ZSC games are the biggest atmosphere of the season, and the two dates on weekdays and Friday offer a way to see them without a weekend trip.
Buying Rapperswil-Jona Lakers tickets from home or abroad
Start with the club's official box office. Season ticket holders have priority, and the ZSC games and weekend dates sell out fast. Because the arena is mid-sized, a late purchase is risky for the big games.
From abroad, check delivery and keep your ticket on your phone. If a game is sold out, use only reputable resale marketplaces. Our email alert will tell you when your preferred dates are worth securing.
A lakeside weekend around the Rapperswil-Jona Lakers
Rapperswil sits on the upper shore of Lake Zurich and is known as the town of roses, with a castle, a long wooden footbridge across the lake and a pretty old town. S-Bahn trains from Zurich take around 40 minutes, which makes it an easy half-day trip.
Spend the afternoon by the water, then walk or take a short bus to the arena in time for the evening game. The route is straightforward and well signposted on match days.
Bring warm clothes for the lake wind, and keep your phone charged for digital entry.
If you want to compare clubs, a Lakers game and a ZSC game in the same weekend gives a good contrast between a small-town atmosphere and a big-city show.
Families often combine the game with a stroll along the lakeside; cafés and bars in the old town stay open on match evenings.
