Four of the
world’s top para hockey teams will be on full display when they gather at Score
Arena in Paradise for the 2026 Para Cup. Action kicks off at noon on Sunday,
November 29th as Team China battles the defending Paralympics
Champions, Team USA. That night, following Official Opening Ceremonies, Team
Canada will face Team Czechia at 5pm.
Following
round robin play throughout the week, the third and fourth place teams will compete
for the Bronze Medal on Saturday, December 5th, before the top two
teams challenge each other for the Gold Medal at 4pm. Both games will be
televised on TSN.
The
Canada-USA rivalry in para hockey is super intense and every game is a
spectator gem. Team USA has been a dominant force in international para hockey
but Team Canada has proven a worthy opponent, defeating Team USA 5-1 to win
gold at the International Para Cup Tournament in Czechia in October. Their
previous gold medal match set a Para-Olympics record for the attendance at a
para hockey event – 11,400 fans!
Para hockey
has truly reached another level and continues to grow nationally and
internationally. Catch the action live in Paradise! Tournament passes and
individual game tickets are on sale at www.hockeycanada.ca/paracup. Buy early to
avoid disappointment. Our very-own Liam Hickey and Team Canada are counting on
your support!
