1. Usage of IISHF web- and tournament resources for Non Title B-events
The IISHF is keen to foster the organization and conduct of as many Non Title B-Events as possible. To support the hosts and to help creating visibility for all participating teams the IISHF Presidium decided to provide as a service to the hosts the usage of the IISHF website www.iishf.com in the section “Other Tournaments” and its underlying tournament management platform
This will allow the hosts to use the same resources and tools as IISHF uses for its Title A-events. This includes the provision of “live” information about games, players and tournament statistics during the event both on the IISHF website and a team app, integrations of live-stream, help with tournament rules, etc. The hosts and teams will also be able to display relevant information about themselves, including their sponsors on their respective subpages. The IISHF Presidium believes that this will save much time, efforts and costs for all hosts and significantly support the hosts in their organizational and communicational efforts.
This service will be gradually developed and offered. As a start the IISHF Presidium decided to allow the upcoming B-events in Ukraine in November 2021 the usage of its digital resources. For these two events separate tournament website subpages will be created on iishf.com, one for the Nations Cup and one for the U16 Friendly Games. In addition, the IISHF tournament management systems will be used that includes live information in an app for all teams, supporters and fans.
Any club which may want to retain such IISHF services in the future for a fee rather than producing/developing an own website and tournament management tools, please contact the IISHF at This email address is being protected from spambots.

3. IISHF Title Events Applications for remaining IISHF Title Events 2022
