Ice Hockey World Championship 2008
The 2008 IIHF World Championship will be held between May 2, 2008 and May 18, 2008 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. The two venues will be the Halifax Metro Centre (10,595 seats) and the Colise Pepsi (15,750 seats). It will be the 72nd annual event, and will be run by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). This will be the first time the final tournament is held in a non-European country since 1962, when it was held in Colorado, USA. The IIHF wants to celebrate the federation's 100th anniversary by holding the tournament in the country where organized ice hockey was born. The tournament will serve as the qualifying round for the men's hockey competition at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The top nine teams in the IIHF World Rankings after Canada 2008 will be automatically qualified to Vancouver 2010..
