3-on-3 Format & Winter Series

The IIHS International Inline Hockey Series is excited to announce the launch of its new Winter Series competition, debuting with a fresh 3-on-3 game format.

Inspired by the International Ice Hockey Federation’s (IIHF) initiative to expand hockey to areas without full-sized rinks (60m x 30m), the 3-on-3 format allows for flexibility in rink size and layout, fostering greater accessibility to the sport worldwide.

At IIHS, we recognize that much of today’s inline hockey is played year-round on smaller rinks, typically 40m x 20m or less. This is in contrast to the larger rinks available mainly in summer or non-ice seasons. The Winter Series, our first 3-on-3 competition series, offers an exciting new challenge for players and a fresh, fast-paced experience for spectators.
