The IIHF Development Cup is an annual international ice hockey tournament sanctioned by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). It is designed for national teams that do not compete in the IIHF World Championships. [1] Since countries are required to have an Olympic-size ice rink and a domestic league to play in the World Championships, the Development Cup is the highest-level international tournament available to many IIHF members.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Ice hockey</span> Team sport played on ice using sticks, skates, and a puck

Ice hockey is a team sport played on ice skates, usually on an ice skating rink with lines and markings specific to the sport. It belongs to a family of sports called hockey. In ice hockey, two opposing teams use ice hockey sticks to control, advance, and shoot a closed, vulcanized, rubber disc called a "puck" into the other team's goal. Each goal is worth one point. The team which scores the most goals is declared the winner. In a formal game, each team has six skaters on the ice at a time, barring any penalties, one of whom is the goaltender. Ice hockey is a full contact sport, and is considered to be one of the more physically demanding team sports. It is distinct from field hockey, in which players move a ball around a non-frozen pitch using field hockey sticks.
