The International Ice Hockey Federation and Hockey Canada have announced that

The tournament was originally scheduled to be played in Nova Scotia in April but the province cancelled the event due to concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 10-team tournament will now be played at WinSport Arena at Canada Olympic Park from Aug. 20 to 31. “Despite the unfortunate cancellation of the IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s World Championship in April, Hockey Canada’s ongoing priority has been to host the event this year, and we have remained committed to running a world-class event in Canada,” said Scott Smith, president and chief operating officer with Hockey Canada, in a statement.

Teams are expected to travel to Calgary on Aug. 10 and complete a quarantine before the tournament begins. The IIHF says it will release a full game schedule at a later date.
