New arena, new format: Channel One 3x3 Hockey Cup!

The 3x3 format represents the essence of hockey in its most concentrated form. With fewer players on the ice, there's more space, leading to higher speeds, multiple scoring opportunities, and rapid changes in attacking moves. There's no time for long deliberations or wait-and-see tactics. Every moment is action-packed: spectacular dribbles, powerful shots, and exciting combinations. Special rules add to the tension: no icing or bodychecks, and any violation results in a penalty shot. This ensures nonstop action and keeps spectators on the edge of their seats from the first minute to the last.

The competition will feature top teams made up of Russian hockey stars and national teams from neighboring countries like Belarus and Kazakhstan. For fans from Novosibirsk, this is a unique chance to witness the game of top players firsthand on their home rink. The Channel One Cup, the successor to the renowned Izvestia Prize Tournament, has traditionally served as a dress rehearsal for world championships and the Olympics. Hosting it in Novosibirsk represents significant recognition for one of Russia's key hockey regions.

The event will be held at Sibir Arena, a modern multifunctional complex opened in 2023 and already home to HC Sibir. The arena, designed to accommodate over 10,500 spectators, is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, guaranteeing excellent views from any seat and creating a unique atmosphere for a sporting event.

The Channel One Cup 3x3 hockey tournament is more than just a series of matches.
