The Finnish Euro Hockey Tour is an annual ice hockey event held in Finland.
History
The tournament started in 1992 as the Sauna Cup. In December 1995, the tournament was played as Christmas Cup at the same time as the Izvestija Trophy tournament, just before the Christmas holiday, causing Russia to send a reserve team to the Christmas Cup.
In 1996, the tournament was moved to early November under the sponsorship of Karjala under the name Karjala Tournament. It became part of the annual Euro Hockey Tour (EHT), in which the national teams of Czech Republic, Finland, Russia and Sweden compete in a series of tournaments. The event has continued to be held every November, with the exception of 2001 when the tournament was pushed back to April 2002.
In 2025, the sponsorship deal with Hartwall and Karjala were terminated, and the tournament was officially named as Suomen EHT-turnaus, translating to Finnish Euro Hockey Tour in autumn 2025.
In 2026 Finnish Ice Hockey Association and NOCCO announce that the Finnish men's national team's home tournament will be played from November 5th to 8th, 2026 at Veikkaus Arena in Helsinki under the name NOCCO Hockey Games.
