WJC: Future World Jr Locations

[Czechboy]

This is not 100% confirmed or anything and a just a tentative plan to my knowledge.

There was a Czech/Slovak 'derby' in Europe earlier this week and there 900 people there. That is beyond disapointing. Tickets are not overpriced (this time) so I don't think it is a money issue.

For me, Czechs always have great attendance and I hope it's Brno. For Canada, I hope it's not an NHL city. My vote is London, Ontario who suppports junior hockey at a level that is hard to beat! I love the Vegas Idea for the US and have suggested that is a good spot for the NHL World Cups too.

Search "world juniors london" right now and ask yourself if they would really want to go back there that soon

I also think Vegas is a terrible idea for a tournament played by teenagers

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I'm from Minnesota and am rooting for Vegas.

Good point about London... didn't occur to me to be honest. In fairness, that wasn't a London issue per se but I get your point. At any rate, I'd like it to be a smaller Canadian town and not an NHL one.

It seems like the IIHF usually tries to find where they can milk the (Canadian) paying public the most. Vegas might be an option just to try to bank on having a lot of tourist infrastructure available including flights and accommodations in bundles.

You would. I am dying to have this tourney here.

Ottawa has the largest WJC attendance for a single host city, they’ll do fine again.

 

[MTU34]

I doubt they wouldn’t use the X if Minnesota gets it but in keeping with the theme of this being a tournament for “junior” arenas I’d love to see them use Mariucci and Amsoil or something

Ottawa is confirmed. I was talking about the next 2 in Canada. It's been nothing but NHL cities.

Vegas > St. Paul

Eh, don't ever discount out the IIHF pricing it so high that it pushes the limits of people to attend.

Vegas > St. Paul

For a youth hockey tourney? I’m not a big Vegas guy in general, it would be incredible to witness the WJCs with my friends and family from my home state.

Ya it’s the same for every city, more so for Canadian cities, that’s why it’s held there a lot, pricing and attendance.

Vegas > St. Paul

a couple great options for Minnesotans. Either stay home and watch it or go to Vegas for a few days after Xmas and play golf and watch best hockey tournament on the planet

I wonder if Thunder Bay could host. Big enough city I think but it’s kind of a bad location. As far as I know it’s a huge hockey town.
Surprised no OHL team.

Or bring it to Saskatchewan. Saskatoon or Regina would be great places to host. Wonder if they’ve ever hosted?

 

[MNNumbers]

Minnesota would be cool. Lots of options. Amsoil and the X?

2010.


Biased perhaps but I would love to see Québec host in 2027, they have a brand new arena that they sell out remparts games for and a youth tournament that sells out the lower bowl. New pro aréna in trois rivières as well

 

[tobu]

I'd love to make the one in Czechia in '29.

Hoping for Brno!

 

[MNRube]

What about Duluth / Superior? Just a couple hours from Twin Cities and Thunder Bay

 

[JiricekSaveUs]

Would go to the tournament in either Vegas or Min. Would be cool to play some games at St. Thomas new arena

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Would be down for them to come back to Halifax in 2030.

 

[Mctavishthegoalie23]

Hope its in Winnipeg either for 2027 or 2030

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Vegas would be awesome, I would make it a point to go. NYE aside, this is a very slow/cheap time of year there.

 

[macbowes]

Vancouver/Victoria two-city host would be awesome. Save-On Center in Victoria is a great arena, and then obviously Rogers Arena in VAN. Group B in Victoria would be fantastic. I really liked the event in 2019 when it was here.
