The 2014 Men's Hockey Champions Challenge was held from 26 April to 4 May 2014 in Kuantan, Malaysia. The tournament doubled as the qualifier to the 2016 Champions Trophy as the winner earned an automatic berth to compete.[1]

South Korea won the tournament for the first time after defeating Canada 4–0 in the final, earning an automatic berth at the 2016 Champions Trophy after their absence in the previous two editions.[2] Malaysia won the third place match by defeating Ireland 4–2 to claim their first ever Champions Challenge I medal.[3] This was the last edition of the tournament that was held.

Qualification

[edit]

Even though Spain was automatically qualified as the highest ranked team not qualified for the next Champions Trophy or Champions Challenge I (this due to the withdrawal from participating at the 2012 Champions Trophy), they withdrew from participating. In addition, South Africa qualified as the seventh placed team in the previous edition, but also withdrew due to financial issues. Both teams were replaced by Poland and France, respectively. The following eight teams competed in this tournament.[4][5][6]
