The dates and schedules have now been drawn up for the 2026 running of the Challenger Series Ice Hockey tournament in the United States and Canada this year. Jamaica won the inaugural competition in 2024, beating the likes of Puerto Rico and Lebanon, continuing the winning streak which started with the success in the LATAM cup in Fort Lauderdale in 2019. In that tournament, Jamaica went undefeated against Puerto Rico, Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela, and Colombia, the defending champions.
