Athletistic/Hockey. Hockey agent Alexei Dementiev shared his opinion on the low attendance at the Youth Ice Hockey World Championship, which is being held in Canada.
“The idea of hosting a World Youth Championship in the summer seemed exotic from the start. Summer is vacation time, and people in Canada, despite all their love for hockey, have other things to At the moment, they pay more attention to other sports – football, baseball, athletics. The absence of the Russian team to some extent is also a factor that does not give points to this tournament. For the Canadians, the most spectacular match is against the Russians – at any stage of the tournament, be it the group stage or the final,” Dementiev said.
Currently, the leader of Group A of the Youth Ice Hockey World Championship is the Canadian team with 9 points, having won all 3 games. Group B is led by the American team with the same result – 3 games, 9 points. On August 14, there will be a Group A match between Finland (2nd place, 5 points) and Slovakia (4th place, 2 points). The meeting starts at 9:00 p.m. Moscow time.
