A Tournament You Won't Forget

United by the Game, Empowered by Tradition

About the Event

The National Aboriginal Hockey Championships (NAHC) unite the best Indigenous hockey talent from across Canada in an inspiring celebration of sport, culture, and community. Since 2002, the NAHC has been a platform for showcasing athletic excellence and cultural pride, offering a space for male and female athletes to compete for national titles.



This year, Kamloops—known as Canada’s Tournament Capital—proudly hosts the event in partnership with Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc, the City of Kamloops, and the Kamloops Sports Council. Over 500 athletes, families, and fans will gather to cheer on their teams while celebrating the diverse cultures and traditions that make this tournament unique.

The ice hockey championship was established in Canada by the Aboriginal Sport Circle.

The tournament attracts participation from First Nations, Inuit and Métis across thirteen provinces and territories.

Players of various ages, genders, and abilities join the tournament each year.
