The 2024 Canadian National Blind Hockey Tournament takes place between March 22 – 24 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 national partners AMI, the Daniel Family Foundation, Electra Health, and Manion.
The 2024 Canadian National Blind Hockey Tournament marks the 10th anniversary of the event which has grown from 45 players in 2013 to over 200 players and coaches last year! We invite the entire Canadian and world-wide Blind Hockey community to come celebrate the 10th anniversary of the biggest Blind Hockey event on the planet, as we expect representatives from all 10 Canadian provinces and six countries world-wide.
