2006 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships

Encyclopedia : 2 : 20 : 200 : 2006 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships

The 2006 Men's Ice Hockey Championships was held in May, 2006 in Riga, Latvia. It was the 70th annual event, and was run by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF).

One of the requirements of the IIHF for Latvia to host the event was that a new arena would be constructed. Sweden was the stand-by organizer in case the arena was delayed, but the construction was completed on schedule, marking the first time a former Soviet state apart from Russia has hosted the event. The mascot of the championships was a beaver called RIX (after Riga International Airport's IATA code.)

It was preceded 2 months earlier by the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, where ice hockey was also a major event.

In the gold medal game, Sweden won against the Czech Republic and thus became the first hockey team to win both the Winter Olympics and the World Championships in the same year. [Recap of Swedish golden double at IHWC official site]

Division I

Division I in the World Championships are composed of national teams that are not at the calibre of the teams in the main division. They play in a tournament that is separate from the main tournament, and which is composed of two groups. In each group all the teams play in a round-robin fashion and the first-placed team in each group is promoted to the main tournament, and the last-placed team in each division is relegated to Division II in the following year's tournament.
