The CARHA Hockey World Cup was reborn in Toronto, Ontario in 1996 and built on an Olympic-themed approach, being hosted every four years. During this rejuvenation, CARHA Hockey’s goal and intention was to provide recreational players over the age of 19 from around the world the opportunity to play in a hockey tournament with international flair. The tournament generated a reported economic impact of $7 million (Steam 1.0) and was a giant success, kick-starting the new generation of the CARHA Hockey World Cup.
