CHL Canada/Russia Series

The CHL Canada/Russia Series is an annual junior ice hockey exhibition tournament held between a select team of Russian players and all-star teams representing the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, the Ontario Hockey League and the Western Hockey League. The event is organized by the Canadian Hockey League and consists of six games total each year, with the Russian Selects playing two games versus each league's all-star team. All games are broadcast nationally in Canada on Sportsnet. The series often features players from the Canadian national junior team, and the Russian national junior team.
The first series held in 2003 as the RE/MAX Canada-Russia Challenge, and was envisioned as tune-up for the World Junior Ice Hockey Championships. The event has had several corporate sponsors and names including, the ADT Canada-Russia Challenge from 2004 until 2008, and the Subway Super Series from 2009 until 2014. The 2015 series did not have a title sponsor. In 2016, CIBC picked up the naming rights for five years and renamed the event CIBC Canada-Russia Series.
