Test your skills against the world

Details about the IIHF Skills Challenge

To involve children all over the world in the IIHFs 100th anniversary, the IIHF developed a concept of a world wide skills challenge for young male and female ice hockey players up to the age of 15 (1993 born). Test your Skills against the World! In 2007/2008, the IIHF will organise a worldwide skills test for young male and female ice hockey players born in 1993 or later. There are 5 tests for skaters and 3 for goalies. In every country, a national Skills Challenge Final will take place and the best two players (one boy, one girl) will be invited to the 2008 World Championships in Canada in May 2008. The worldwide tests, supported by the special Skills Challenge Website that will display global rankings of all participants, and the journey to Canada in May 2008 will be a life-time event for all young players!

 

The Skills Challenge Website
The Skills Challenge website is a tool for coaching and gives coaches and players the chance to upload their own test results through their own personal account at any time on the website. The online rankings on this website show various different rankings of all participating players.
