2020 Channel One Cup

2020 Channel One Cup was the 53rd edition of the Channel One Cup. The tournament was held from December 17, 2020 to December 20, 2020. The Czech Republic, Finland, Russia and Sweden played a round-robin for a total of 3 games per team. All games were played in the CSKA Arena, Moskva, Russia. One game (FIN - CZE) should have been played in Finland but was also played in the CSKA Arena due to the bad pandemic situation. The tournament was played in a "bubble" so all players and team staff could be only in the CSKA Arena and in their hotel. The tournament was a part of the 2020-21 Euro Hockey Tour.
