Ice hockey is a team sport played on ice, in which skaters use their sticks to hit a puck into theopponent's net. A fast-paced physical sport, ice hockey is most popular in areas that are sufficiently cold for natural reliable seasonal ice cover, such as Canada, the Czech Republic,           Latvia, Scandinavia, Finland, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the northern latitudes of the United States. With the advent of indoor artificial ice rinks it has become a year-round pastime in these areas. In North America, the National Hockey League (NHL) is the highest level for men and both the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL) and the Western Women's Hockey League (WWHL) are the highest levels for women. It is the official national winter sport of Canada,[1] where the game enjoys immense popularity.

This tournament has been contested for since its inception in 2009.

St. Jakob Arena is an arena in Basel, Switzerland. It is primarily used for ice hockey and is the home arena of EHC Basel. St. Jakob Arena opened in 2002 and holds 6,330 people.
