«Hosting international games and tournaments are critical to provide opportunities for our men's, women's and para athletes to develop and compete on the world stage, showcase our teams and communities, and inspire the next generation of participants and fans,» said Katherine Henderson, president and chief executive officer of Hockey Canada. «We are grateful that the Province of Alberta has made this significant investment to enable these events to be played on home ice, which will significantly benefit each of our programs, including our national teams that are preparing for the 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.»
