World Para Ice Hockey has announced its Strategic Plan 2020-2022 outlining the mission, vision, and strategic objectives for the sport in the new cycle.
The development of the 2020-2022 Strategic Plan took 12 months involving extensive consultation with members and stakeholders. It coincided with the International Paralympic Committee’s (IPC) Governance Review and incorporated findings and recommendations from the ongoing review.
“World Para Ice Hockey would like to thank all the Para athletes, our membership, volunteers, partner organisations, staff and administrators who contributed to the development of the 2020-2022 Strategic Plan. We believe this plan reflects the needs and aspirations of our sport,” World Para Ice Hockey Manager, Michelle Laflamme, said.
“We have come a long way through innumerable people’s work and effort through almost five decades. Now it is our duty to bring the plan into operation and make our vision become a reality,” Laflamme added.
The new plan developed by World Para Ice Hockey focus on three strategic priorities:
- Development: Attract new athletes through development and high-performance programmes.
- Competitions: Establish a long-term strategy with sustainable, entertaining events.
- Operations: Strengthen operations through good governance, transparency and knowledge-sharing.
