Special cover «Ice Hockey World Championship 2026»

Players from all over the world compete for every inch of ice, while quick changes of direction and hard shots shape the game – the fans’ enthusiasm is immediately palpable. The stamp dedicated to the Ice Hockey World Championship 2026 precisely captures this feeling. Roland Bürge has created the design to ensure that every detail comes to life, even in a small format. It was the first Swiss stamp to be printed on transparent lime paper, imitating the nature, structure and colour of the ice rink. Ice hockey is more than just a game for Switzerland: for over a century, the sport has shaped its national identity. The 2026 World Championship in Switzerland is an opportunity to combine tradition and passion. The stamp will become a tangible part of this event, a small memento of speed, team spirit and the joy of playing.
