Ice Cross, also known as Ice Cross Downhill or Crashed Ice, is the ultimate adrenaline rush—a high-stakes, high-speed battle on ice that pushes athletes to their limits. Combining the agility and precision of ice skating, the breakneck speed of downhill skiing, and the fierce collisions of roller derby, Ice Cross is a spectacle like no other. The icy course itself is a masterpiece of brutal design, forcing skaters to navigate at blistering speeds—sometimes exceeding 50 miles per hour—all while keeping their balance and fending off rivals. Falls, crashes, and wild wipeouts are all part of the game, but so is the unrelenting drive to win.
The Federation’s training initiatives are designed to foster skills and provide athletes with the tools necessary to compete at national and international levels.
Programs aimed at beginners and youth athletes, focusing on skating skills, safety on the ice, and introductory race strategies.

The Ice Cross TV Federation enforces a strict set of guidelines to maintain fair competition, athlete safety, and the integrity of the sport. Below are key rules and regulations governing all official Ice Cross events:
Athletes compete in heats of 4, navigating icy tracks with obstacles and sharp turns. The top 2 finishers from each heat progress to the next round
All tracks must be inspected by the Federation’s Track Safety Committee before competition to ensure compliance with safety standards.
Mandatory protective gear includes helmets, pads, and gloves. Only standard ice hockey skates are permitted.
Athletes must be at least 16 years old, medically certified, and registered with the Federation. Anti-doping regulations aligned with WADA are strictly enforced.
Overtaking is allowed, but unsportsmanlike conduct such as blocking or interference results in time penalties or disqualification.
Any violation of the rules will be reviewed by the Disciplinary Committee, with sanctions ranging from fines to lifetime bans.
