Since season 1996-97 the tournament is part of the Euro Hockey Tour in which Czech Republic, Finland, Russia and Sweden participate. For season 2005-06 the tournament's name was changed from Sweden Hockey Games to LG Hockey Games due to the new main sponsor LG Electronics.

Only Czech Republic, Finland, Russia and Sweden are invited to the tournament but from season 1991-92 through 2003-04 Canada also participated.
