Ice hockey at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics took place at the Vaudoise Aréna in Lausanne, Switzerland from 10 to 22 January 2020.[1]

A total of four events were contested: a men's and women's tournament (six teams per gender), alongside a mixed 3x3 tournament for each gender.[2] The 3x3 competition replaced the skills challenge that was held in the first two editions.[3] A country could enter a maximum of 26 athletes (17 for the team tournament, plus 4 in the boys' 3x3 tournament and 5 in the girl's 3x3 tournament). Hosts Switzerland were permitted to enter in each event, meaning the NOC could enter 43 athletes.
