Close resemblance between the inner shape of a hockey stick and the lower hull of a container ship builds a bridge between the sport and the harbour.
The connection between the sport of hockey and the city of Hamburg, symbolized by the visual proximity between a hockey stick's negative space and a container ship's lower hull.

By stressing the connection between the two integral parts of the city (the harbour capital of Germany + the hockey capital of Germany), the logo design should hopefully help the people of Hamburg to identify with the sport of hockey as a vital part of the city they love. Which in turn should give sponsors an interesting, new opportunity to tap into the civic pride of Hamburgers.
