2018 IIHF World Championship
Template:Infobox tournament season Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". The 2018 IIHF World Championship was an international ice hockey tournament hosted by the Danish cities of Copenhagen and Herning, held from 4 to 20 May 2018. The IIHF announced the winning bid on 23 May 2014 in Minsk, Belarus.[1][2] South Korea made its debut at the World Championship, having played in the lower divisions previously.[3]
Sweden went undefeated at the tournament to win their second consecutive and eleventh overall title after defeating Switzerland in the final.[4] The United States won the bronze medal game, defeating Canada 4–1.
The official mascot of the tournament was a swan,[5] inspired by the Danish writer and poet Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale about The Ugly Duckling.[6]
Bids
There were two bids to host this championship.[7]
- Denmark is the only top-ranked IIHF country that has never hosted the tournament. The proposed arenas were the Royal Arena in Copenhagen and the Jyske Bank Boxen in Herning.[2] Both arenas have a capacity of around 12,000 for hockey games.[8]
- Latvia hosted the IIHF World Championship in 2006. The proposed arenas were Arena Riga, and a secondary venue to be built.[2]
The decision was announced on 23 May 2014 in Minsk, Belarus. The final tally was 95-12 in favor of Denmark.[1][2]
