Canada will host 2023’s women’s hockey world championship.
In its Monday “Ice Times”, newsletter, the IIHF announced that the International Ice Hockey Federation had awarded the next-year’s tournament to Canada and 2024 championship to the United States.
The exact dates and locations of the event are yet to be announced.
The 2022 women’s championship — the first to be held in the same calendar year as an Olympic Games — is Aug. 25 to Sept. 4 in Herning and Frederikshavn, Denmark.
Canada’s defending champion is currently in Calgary for a training camp and selection camp.
After the April tournament in Nova Scotia was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Calgary became the host city for the 2021 women’s championship.
Truro, N.S. and Halifax were the hosts of the 2020 championship, which was also cancelled by the pandemic.
