The International Ice Hockey Federation and Hockey Canada announced yesterday the world junior championship will be held in Ottawa from Dec. 26, 2024, to Jan. 5, 2025, at the Canadian Tire Centre and TD Place Arena. The successful bid "came through a partnership between" the Senators, Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG), Ottawa Tourism, Hockey Eastern Ontario (HEO), the city of Ottawa and the province of Ontario. In 2009, the IIHF world junior championship generated $80.5M "in economic impact in Ontario," with "over 450,000 fans attending the tournament." Hockey Canada is "hoping to generate even more success" this time around (OTTAWA SUN, 6/22).
