Ice Hockey Classic 2026
The world’s greatest hockey rivalry is coming to Canberra
This July, the Ice Hockey Classic brings Canada and USA to the AIS Arena for two nights of fierce competition. Expect relentless pace, hard hits and edge of your seat action from the opening face off to the final siren. Two proud hockey nations. Two long standing rivals. Two nights that no hockey fan will want to miss.
Then, on 16 July, the Ice Hockey Classic All Stars take on the Canberra Brave in a special showcase game. For Brave fans, it’s a chance to see the local Brave team test themselves against a touring roster built from the Ice Hockey Classic teams.
