What is the 2009 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship?

It is one of the greatest tournaments in the sport of ice hockey. It is a prestigious competition featuring tomorrow's superstars playing for their nation's pride. It is an incredible display of passion, hunger, raw talent and awe-inspiring skills.

What are the benefits of hosting the WJHC ?

Past host communities of the IIHF world junior hockey championship have gained tremendous immediate and long-term benefits from the experience. As a result, many cities have hosted the event more than once, and are already working on plans to host the championship again in the future.

Economic benefits to the area would be substantial. Estimates of the economic activity from the 2009 championship are $45-60 million.

The 2009 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship, will be an incredible opportunity to showcase and strengthen our city's strong hockey heritage.
