This weekend on March 10th and 11th, a total of 39 countries will host 1-hour hockey games in succession starting in Dunedin, New Zealand, before making its way across six continents until reaching its final destination in Mississauga, Canada.

Each country that participates choses players that will represent Team Blue and Team White. As the game wraps up in one federation, it picks up in the next with the score continuing to grow. With the game surging on, females from all over the world are thus united as teammates.

Switzerland, who takes part in this global event for the second time after 2017, will play their game on Sunday, March 11, in Huttwil (puck-drop at 12:15 pm). As the SIHF informs, a total of 20 players and two goalies have signed up for this event.
