WC: 2022 IIHF World Championship Finland (Russia and Belarus tossed out) No Politics

[Jussi]

It sounds like it was a money thing. Tickets were sold and the IIHF like most places do not like giving money back.

We should start hearing in the next week or so players from non playoff teams agreeing to go via back channels.

Should be interesting who says no and who says yes.

I am supposed to fly to Helsinki but that is just way too close to Russia for me right now.

It's really not, we likely have already sent a NATO application by then.

They wouldn't dare do something during the Worlds.

What do you think they will do? Attack? They don't have to resources to attack another country and moving such forces wouldn't go unnoticed. Also, a lot of the men from garrisons closest to Finland are in Ukraine getting killed.

What does one have to do with the other?

 

[Lartsaman]

I repeat myself. Finland is one of the safest countries on earth and I don´t see that changing any time soon. So if you are planning to come to watch the tournament, just come.

Rink size at the tournament will be 28 meters by 60 m. The old Ice Hall in Helsinki can't do 26 meter wide rink.

Shame it's not back to regular size, but at least it's an improvement

Not sure if this has been discussed yet. But where is the fanzone in Helsinki located?

Thanks in advance!

To my understanding it remains at Tripla shopping mall, adjacent to Pasila railway station and thus closer to the original arena.
