Ice hockey was introduced at the Youth Olympic Games at the inaugural edition in 2012 for both boys and girls. For the 2012 and 2016 editions a 5-on-5 team competition and an individual skills challenge were open to both genders. In 2020, the skills challenge was replaced by a mixed-NOC 3-on-3 tournament. In 2024 the mixed-NOC 3-on-3 tournament was replaced by a 3-on-3 tournament format for the 12th through 28th ranked NOCs.[1]
