1937 Wiener EV Tour of South Africa

To celebrate the opening of the Ice Palace in Johannesburg, the South African Ice Hockey Federation invited the Austrian club, Wiener EV, to play against several South African squads.

WEV, buttressed by several players from Wiener AC and EK Engelmann Wien, won six of the eight matches played against the various South African squads, only falling once to and tying an all-star team. The South African teams consisted mainly of Canadian expats.

The tour lasted a total of two-and-a-half months, with 32 days spent sailing to-and-from South Africa. The games were played between June 24 and July 15, 1937.
