Suit up for the 2019 Global Game!

Hockey Alberta, in partnership with Hockey Canada and the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), is hosting the Global Game on the weekend of February 16-17 in Calgary. The Global Game is an IIHF initiative focused on uniting female hockey players across the globe through sport in this one, global continuous game.

The Global Game embodies the spirit of enjoyment, teamwork, and collaborating with those from diverse backgrounds. This unique game starts on February 16 and is played in 28 different countries across the globe before being handed off to Canada to play the final segment. A cumulative score is kept across all 28 countries between Team White and Team Blue with a winner being declared after the Canadian portion of the game. The goal is to unite all females currently playing hockey as one global family.

Two teams made up of participants from the 10 Hockey Canada branches compete for Team White and Team Blue in the Canadian portion of the Global Game. The participants selected for the Canadian game will be placed on a team with other players from across Canada. As the host province, Alberta has been given the opportunity to select 16 players to participate: 10 forwards, four defense and two goaltenders.

Selected participants get the opportunity to spend the weekend in Calgary participating in off-ice sessions, visiting the Hockey Canada Hall of Champions, and listening to guest speakers. Along with these off-ice activities, participants will compete in the Global Game.
