Celebrating girls in hockey with one game around the world.

The IIHF Global Girls’ Game originated in 2015, a unique event that was created to unite the hockey community by having players from around the world all playing in the same game.

The 2026 edition of the Global Girls’ Game will be played March 6-8 across all participating countries.

The Canadian leg of the game has operated in various formats in years past, with only one Member chosen to host the event on behalf of the country. This season, Hockey Canada is committed to working with its Members to create unity from coast to coast to coast. The 2026 event will highlight and empower girls playing hockey, with representation from every Member competing on the same teams, in the same game on the same day!

Games can be scheduled throughout February and before March 8, alongside the 2026 Olympic Winter Games.

A big thank you to the thousands of Canadians who have participated in the IIHF Global Girls’ Game!
