Dear Players, Coaches, and Families,

It is with great pleasure we invite all kids and youngsters with a special interest in Ice Hockey to participate in this very first staging of the Hans Christian Andersen City Games, a major sporting event, which also features an Ice Hockey Camp. The Games are planned to be a recurring event taking place in Odense, Denmark, in the beginning of July each year with Ice Hockey as one of 18 sports to be represented.

Our goal is to combine Ice Hockey training with a tournament. This combination is carried out on Danish ice for the very first time, offering both learning opportunities and a number of matches to try out the skills.

The aim and purpose of the Games is to gather young athletes from all over the world to have fun and learn from each other.

Organisers
The Hans Christian Andersen City Games are organised in collaboration with Odense Ishockey Klub.
