IHLC Team Profiles – 🇨🇦 Canada (Women’s)
🇨🇦 CANADA (CAN) Women’s National Ice Hockey Team (1987-)
274 wins, 45 reigns, 279 games with IHLC – ranked 1st
IHLC last held 13 April 2025
Canada’s women’s team, like their male counterparts, have largely dominated women’s hockey in its infancy, leading international squads in the number of World Championship and Olympic Gold Medals, in addition to being the all-time leader in IHLC wins, reigns, games and days as champion. Ever since kicking off the 1987 Women’s World Tournament, Canada has been nearly unstoppable, only in recent years being matched by their American counterparts, leading to some ultra-competitive instant classic tilts against Team USA, along with interesting games against emerging nations.

IHLC Team Profiles – 🇨🇦 Canada (Men’s)
🇨🇦 CANADA (CAN) Men’s National Ice Hockey Team (1910-)
339 wins, 68 reigns, 364 games with IHLC – ranked 2nd
IHLC last held 22 May 2025
Canada, the inventors of the game of ice hockey, naturally entered the international circuit as a dominant force, winning their first IHLC in 1911 and rarely losing any game from then until 1953, winning all but one Olympic Gold and 13 World Championship titles. However, with the emergence of the Soviet Union, and disputes with the IIHF over defining amateur players, Canada largely dropped off from international competition, mainly competing in now-classic events like the Summit Series and Canada Cup. Now that the playing field has equaled with professionals playing, Canada has regained its footing as a dominant hockey nation, only second in IHLC rankings to Russia.

129 wins, 25 reigns, 137 games with IHLC – ranked 1st
IHLC last held 20 December 2025
While the first decade of the junior IHLC belonged to the Soviet Union, Canada has emerged as the global leader in junior hockey in the past twenty-five years, with the World Junior Championship becoming something of a national holiday. Canada has captured 20 Gold Medals since 1982 (including five straight on two separate occasions), and sits first all-time in IHLC wins. With emerging nations like Finland, Sweden and their rival United States improving each year, Canada will have to continue to fight to stay atop the World Junior stage, as they look to hold on to #1 atop the rankings.
