Hej, everyone! The IIHF HO is pleased to announce the S76 IIHF Tournament. This year's showcase of international hockey will be coming to you from the great northern nation of Sweden! Last season, the Swedes left Norway with a set of gold medals as the champions after defeating Canada in the Final. The Irish took the Bronze Medal with a win over France. Will Sweden be able to defend their crowns on home ice? Or will we see one of our other 13 Federations on top of the podium?

This year's host city will be...Visby!




The estimated start date of the tournament will be May 23 (preseason to start on March 21). Keep an eye out for other events around the tournament!

Rosters for this season's tournament can be found here.

Good luck everyone!
