Arctic Winter Games
Nunavut participates in both the male and female hockey categories in the Arctic Winter Games.
Typically, Hockey Nunavut send two male teams (bantam and midget) and one female team (junior). For the 2016 Arctic Winter Games in Nuuk, Greenland, only bantam male hockey and junior female hockey will take place. Due to a lack of facilities in Nuuk, these events will be hosted by the city of Iqaluit, Nunavut in March 2016.
Junior
Junior teams in Nunavut play off for the Nunavut Challenge Cup. The Champions earn the right to represent Nunavut in the Maritime-Hockey North Junior C Championship.
