Dear 42 nations, hundreds of players and millions of fans. Welcome to the Multiverse's greatest hockey competition! 42 teams will be looking to play for the one single title that unites all, starting off with a double round-robin group stage on home-and-away format. Will Elejamie, the defending champions whose rise to the victory is just one of many upsets and surprises from the previous championships, be back for the back-to-back WCoH title? Or will it be your nation who races against insurmountable odds to clench the trophy before your eyes and nation cheering?
