Channel One Cup
Channel One Cup (formerly Izvestia Trophy) is an annual ice hockey event held in Russia under the auspices of the TV Channel One.
History
The tournament started in 1967 in Moscow in the Soviet Union. The tournament is played in December every year, except for 1974 to 1975 when its matches were spread out during the season. In 1992, the tournament was played in Saint Petersburg and as of 2000 some of its matches have been played in other European countries of the participating teams. During the 1970s and 1980s, the cup was often commonly referred to as "The Little World Championships". From 1996 to 2022 it was part of the Euro Hockey Tour.
In 2022, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the tournament was removed from the Euro Hockey Tour.[1] To replace the countries that had pulled out, Kazakhstan and Belarus made their tournament debuts, alongside a second Russian team of players under 25.[2]
