Sultan Azlan Shah Cup 2026
The Sultan Azlan Shah Cup returns to Ipoh, Malaysia in November 2026, providing Team Canada’s Men’s National Team with another opportunity to compete against some of the world’s top hockey nations. One of international hockey’s most prestigious invitational tournaments, the 2026 Azlan Shah Cup is a perfect fall/winter preparation tournament for the Men’s National Team leading into 2027 Pan American Games. Canada enters the 2026 edition looking to build on a promising 2025 campaign, where the Red Caribou finished fifth, earned victories over Korea, and an impressive draw against eventual champions Belgium. Team Canada will take on five other nations in a round-robin before the medal rounds. Canada will face Korea, Australia, Malaysia, Pakistan and USA. It’s another loaded field in Malaysia.
