• The Great Minnesota Puck Pass

  • Your chance to be part of the Official IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship Host City Handoff


    Minnesota! It’s time to pass the puck - and hit record. As we prepare to receive our official “pass” from Ottawa to the State of Hockey as host of the 2026 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship, we're inviting hockey fans across Minnesota to be part of the historic moment.


    Officially dubbed The Great Minnesota Puck Pass, we are creating a crowd-sourced video montage that will be shown as part of the ceremonial passing of the event to Minnesota on January 5, 2025, in Ottawa, Ontario, at the conclusion of this year’s tournament.
