World’s Largest Blind Hockey Tournament Returns to Toronto March 21 – 23, 2025 at Mattamy Athletic Centre. Now in its 11th year, the tournament has played a significant role in the growth of the Para sport of Blind Hockey across Canada and around the world.

 

The 2025 Canadian National Blind Hockey Tournament will be the largest Blind Hockey event of all time with 190 players competing – a 19% growth from last year's previous record! There will be 24 games played across 7 divisions including: Children, Youth, Girls & Women, Low Vision & Development, Open, Select, and for the first-time ever a Masters Series. Players will be representing every province in Canada, as well as the United States, Finland and England.

The Opening Ceremonies will have a special guest on hand in trophy form, as the Hockey Hall of Fame will be bringing the prestigious NHL Willie O’Ree Community Hero Award to celebrate the reigning winner – Toronto native and Canadian Blind Hockey founder Mark DeMontis. This will be the first time Mark has had the opportunity to celebrate winning an NHL Award with the entire Blind Hockey community, as well as 2000 elementary students from across the TDSB and the TCDSB who will be on hand to witness the best Blind Hockey players on the planet go head-to-head during this special schools-only invitational game.

The tournament will be held at the Mattamy Athletic Centre – formerly Maple Leaf Gardens – and is free and open to the public. All games will be streamed live on the Canadian Blind Hockey YouTube channel.
