Official tournament timekeeper remains loyal supporter of ice hockey
Tissot and the IIHF are renewing their long-term partnership with a multi-year extension, which they are announcing 50 days before the start of the 2022 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship that will take place from May 13 to 29 in Finland . The agreement means that Tissot remains the Official Timekeeper and watch for several IIHF Ice Hockey World Championships.
In addition to its existing commitment to the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship, Tissot remains the Official Partner of the IIHF as well as the Official Timekeeper and Official Watch of the following IIHF competitions: IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship Divisions II and III - IIHF World Junior Championships - IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s World Championships - IIHF Ice Hockey U18 World Championships - IIHF Ice Hockey U18 Women’s World Championships.
The agreement extends a long-term association between the IIHF and Tissot that goes back to 1996. Fans attending IIHF events are used to seeing the Tissot branded boards during games, and at the conclusion of the World Championship games Best Players from each team receive a Tissot watch in recognition of their performance. The new agreement will see Tissot’s integration on IIHF’s digital channels such as the IIHF Mobile App and social media campaigns.
“Tissot has been a strong partner for the IIHF for many years,” said IIHF President Luc Tardif. “We are delighted to have such an Official Timekeeper, who supports many of the world’s most prestigious sporting events, and is highly dedicated to international ice hockey.”
