This event will mark Canada’s Para Hockey Squad’s first time hosting a world championship tournament and the first significant international para-hockey event since the Paralympic Winter Games in 2010.
Moose Jaw was deemed a perfect host due to the accessibility features of the events centre and its willingness to host the tournament.The event is expected to generate an estimated $2 million in economic activity, with the Government of Saskatchewan contributing $45,000 to the event through Tourism Saskatchewan.
The participating teams for the 2023 World Para Ice Hockey Championship include Canada, the United States, Czechia, Korea, Germany, China, Italy, and Norway.
