Welcome to Madrid

The Ice Rink at the Madrid Ice Palace will host the Division IIA matches of the 2023 men’s ice-hockey world championships from 16 to 22 April, in which the teams from Spain, Australia, Croatia, Israel, Iceland and Georgia will be playing against each other.  The winning national side will be promoted to Division I Group B and the losing side will be relegated to Division II Group B.
