Ice hockey at the Winter Youth Olympics

Ice hockey was introduced at the Youth Olympic Games at the inaugural edition in 2012 for both boys and girls. For the 2012 and 2016 editions a 5-on-5 team competition and an individual skills challenge were open to both genders. In 2020, the skills challenge was replaced by a mixed-NOC 3-on-3 tournament. In 2024 the mixed-NOC 3-on-3 tournament was replaced by a 3-on-3 tournament format for the 12th through 28th ranked NOCs.[1]
