The official name of the event that this January will take place for the fifth time is Christmas International Amateur Tournament on the Prize of the President of the Republic of Belarus.
For five years already amateur teams from all over the world come to the city of Minsk to have fun, make new friends, enjoy the Belarusian hospitality and - of course - to play hockey. Belarus is represented by the President's team and therefore the Palace of Sport, where the team plays, is always packed.
This year there will be eight teams participating in the event that is to take place since January 4 to 7.
