The 2013 Open Ice Hockey Pro was a tournament played in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on April 19 and 20, 2013. The six-team tournament featured a prize of 2 million reals, and essentially served as preparation for the formation of the Brazilian National Team.

Final

  • Lokomotiv Rio de Janeiro - Bulls Ice Sao Paulo 5:3

Lokomotiv Rio was named on tribute to the Russian Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, whose team suffered a devastating plane crash that killed all the members on board in September 2011. The club sent a letter to the Russian club, asking for jerseys and hockey equipment, which they received, sparking a friendship between the two clubs, who invited one another to Brazil and Russia in the coming years.
