The 2022 IIHF Continental Cup Final will take place in Aalborg, Denmark from 7 to 9 January 2022.

The host club Aalborg Pirates, the current leader of Denmark’s Metal Ligaen, has recently advanced to the final round along with Kazakh champion Saryarka Karaganda, HK Gomel from Belarus and Cracovia Krakow from Poland.

The Pirates will host the tournament at Gigantium, which is one of the country’s biggest indoor arenas with a capacity for 5,000 spectators. Aalborg in the North Jutland Region is Denmark’s fourth-largest city.

Aalborg had previously hosted one of the preliminary-round groups and was chosen based on the bid, the facilities but also the Covid-19 situation and travel restrictions in the candidate countries.

The Continental Cup has been played since 1997/1998. Two years ago SonderjyskE Vojens became the first Danish club both to host the final and win the Continental Cup.

The game schedule will be established and published on the event website on IIHF.com at a later date.
