Thus, we hereby officially announce that according to point 12.1 IISHF Constitution the IISHF Presidium has imposed the following official deadline for all IISHF National Member Associations to inform all their clubs:

• About all now updated status for the open IISHF Title Events 2025 (as above)

• To inform and remind their clubs about the deadline 15 November 2024 for applications of the open IISHF Title Events 2025

• To inform and remind their clubs that without applications until 15 November 2024 that the relevant IISHF Title Events 2025 might not take place that IISHF will announce the updated listing of IISHF Title Events latest 30 November 2024

• Please note that we have now passed the deadline of 20 October 2024, where IISHF would announce the application with the standard 3 weeks deadline for any other club/NMA to make their bid for the same IISHF Title Event so this will not be done now. IISHF generally encourage early applications for the IISHF Title Events.

The IISHF National Member Associations are also requested (as official deadline according to point 12.1 IISHF Constitution) to provide the IISHF Presidium until Sunday 10 November 2024 a copy of their website publication (or other way of information sent to the clubs).

If any clubs would be interested in hosting a European Cup event, please contact Will Osborne to discuss.
