CALGARY, Alberta – Hockey Canada has announced the host
communities for three of its fall events: the 2024 U17 World Challenge,
2024 U18 Women’s National Championship and 2024 Para Cup.
“These events play a critical role in the development of men’s, women’s and
para hockey athletes, coaches, officials and staff, and we are thrilled to
be bringing them to communities in Ontario, New Brunswick and Prince Edward
Island,” said Pat McLaughlin, chief operating officer and executive
vice-president of strategy. “They are an excellent opportunity to create
lifelong memories and leave a legacy in each community for years to come.”
The 2024 U17 World Challenge will be played Nov. 1-9 in Sarnia, Ontario. It
is the seventh time Ontario will play host to the tournament, and the
second time in Sarnia, following 2014.
The 2024 U18 Women’s National Championship will run Nov. 3-9 in Quispamsis, New Brunswick, bringing the event – and the future stars of the women’s game – to Atlantic Canada for the first time.
Canada’s National Para Hockey Team, which won a home-ice gold medal at the
2024 World Para Hockey Championship earlier this month, will compete
against three countries at the 2024 Para Cup, which will be held Dec. 8-14
in Charlottetown, P.E.I. It is the fifth time the tournament will be held
in the Birthplace of Confederation and coincides with the 50th anniversary
of ParaSport & Recreation PEI.

committees in these three great hockey markets and know we are set up for
success with the passionate hockey fans and volunteers in each community.”
