INFORMATION IN ENGLISH

Welcome to Trollhättan Hockey Trophy 2026

Trollhättans Hockey Club invites you to another edition of the Trollhättan Hockey Trophy. Play hockey over three days, Friday to Sunday, with accommodation at Scandic Swania. Teams, along with accompanying parents/supporters, can enjoy discounted rates.

REGISTRATION

You can register your team via the registration form on Cuponline!

TOURNAMENT FORMAT

The tournament consists of two groups of five teams each. A total of ten teams can participate in each age group. When the schedule is finalized, travel distance to Trollhättan is taken into consideration. We also aim, as much as possible, to place teams in groups where they’ll meet "new" opponents.

All teams will play at least five games. Teams advancing to playoffs will play six games. Each team plays four group stage games — two on Friday and two on Saturday. The cup starts at 08:00 on Friday morning, so teams traveling from afar often choose to arrive on Thursday evening. On Sunday, all teams play a placement game. The top two teams in each group advance to the playoffs. The semifinal losers will play for the bronze trophy on Sunday afternoon, followed by the final where the semifinal winners compete for the gold trophy in the Trollhättan Hockey Trophy.

Game time: 2 x 20 minutes for all matches. Ice maintenance between games. All games are officiated by licensed referees using the three-referee system.

PLACEMENT & FINALS

In placement and final matches, a winner must be determined.

For placement matches (positions 5–10):
“Sudden shootout” is applied directly after regulation time, meaning each team takes one penalty shot. If both miss or both score, each team takes another shot. A single player may take multiple shots. The home team chooses the side, and the away team shoots first. Only the deciding goal is recorded in the official protocol. Players serving penalties at the end of regulation may not participate in the shootout.

For semifinals and finals:
The Swedish Ice Hockey Association's shootout rules apply (3 shots before “sudden shootout”).

Overtime applies in the final and bronze match:
If necessary, a 5-minute sudden death overtime will be played before a potential shootout. Overtime is played 3-on-3, provided no players are serving penalties at the end of regulation. If no goal is scored during overtime, the shootout rules above apply.
