Russia’s Return
After a four-year hiatus, the Russian Ice Hockey Federation is back on the international stage. Fans worldwide are eager to see how the team, now rid of the bans and controversies of recent years, will fare in their comeback year. - Canada’s Quest for Three-Peat
The red and white have been golden for the past two years, but history is not on their side. Only one team has ever achieved a three-peat in IIHF Hockey World Championships – and that was all the way back in the 1940s. Can Canada defy the odds and make history yet again?
Flashback: Remembering Sweden’s ‘P elevation’
One of the most unforgettable moments in IIHF history occurred on home ice in Stockholm, during the 2013 Championships. With the home crowd roaring, Sweden’s Ludvig Karlsson scored with mere seconds left on the clock, securing the team’s promotion to the top division. Fast forward to 2025, and Sweden gets the chance to showcase their homegrown talent on the world stage once again.
