The 12th annual Canadian National Blind Hockey Tournament (CNBHT) returns from March 20 – 22, 2026 at the Mattamy Athletic Centre – the former Maple Leaf Gardens – in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The event is brought to you by the CNIB Foundation and made possible by our national partners at the Canucks for Kids Fund, Electra Health, the Daniel Family Foundation, and Manion.
This year’s CNBHT will have six divisions including children, youth, low vision and development, open, masters, and for the first time ever – a three team International Blind Ice Hockey Series featuring Canada, USA, and Team World! We are expecting approximately 200 players from across Canada and around the world and are anticipating several of the divisions to be completely full – roster spots will be awarded based on the order of pre-registration so if you plan on coming please pre-register today.
In addition to the National Tournament, Canadian Blind Hockey is thrilled to be hosting the 5th annual Girls & Women’s Blind Hockey Summit, as well as our Children and Youth Multi-Sport Camp both taking place on Thursday, March 19. From girls and boys who are just beginning their Blind Hockey journey, all the way to the seasoned all-stars from around the world, the 2026 Canadian Nationals will showcase the very best of the Para sport of Blind Hockey.
Canadian Blind Hockey relies on our tremendous network of volunteers in order to execute all our events. The Canadian National Blind Hockey Tournament is our biggest event and requires our most volunteers. If you would like to volunteer, please complete this google form.
