The World Para Ice Hockey Championships, previously postponed from May 1-8 due to COVID-19, have been rescheduled for June 19-26, 2021.
The World Championships will take place once again in Ostrava, Czech Republic. Ostrava has hosted the para hockey championships three previous times, including a very successful 2019 event that drew nearly 65,000 enthusiastic spectators. Due to the pandemic there are no ticket sales at this point, but the action will be broadcast online for a growing para hockey fanbase around the world.
