Ice hockey in Norway is a minor but growing sport.[1][2] It has had to compete with other sports for national attention. Norway has a men’s, women’s and junior nation team.[3]
At the higher levels of play, ice hockey is primarily concentrated in the southeast areas (Lillehammer in the north to Halden in the south) and the city of Stavanger, and increasingly in the town of Narvik in Northern Norway. In the rest of Norway ice hockey is a niche sport.
