Welcome to the Future of Hockey

3x3 Ice Hockey is the newest, fastest, and most accessible form of ice hockey - built for the next generation of fans and athletes. Smaller rinks, fewer players, nonstop action, and a festival atmosphere bring the sport closer to the people and into urban environments around the world.

Whether you're a lifelong ice hockey fan or completely new to the game, 3x3 delivers an unforgettable experience: faster pace, bigger moments, and a sport that thrives on creativity and excitement.

Ultimate Hockey “Breaking the Ice Tour” – Launching in 2026

Developed through a strategic partnership between the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) and ProOxy AG, Ultimate Hockey represents a bold reimagining of the sport. Together, the IIHF and ProOxy are creating a global platform that blends elite competition with modern entertainment and innovation.

The global introduction to 3x3 ice hockey begins in 2026 under the brand Ultimate Hockey and with the Breaking the Ice Tour, a series of spectacular events hosted in iconic city locations across the world. This traveling showcase brings high-energy 3x3 hockey to iconic city-center locations across Europe, putting the game directly in front of new audiences and igniting excitement wherever it goes!

Ultimate Hockey League – Coming in 2027

The next phase of the partnership delivers the Ultimate Hockey League (UHL) - the first professional 3x3 league, launching in Europe in 2027 and internationally in 2028. This is hockey reimagined: fast, urban, global.
