Para Cup Returns to Paradise

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!
