IIHF InLine World Championship

Bratislava - the capital town of Slovakia was awarded to stage the 2008 IIHF InLine World Championship. Bratislava will host the best inline hockeyists of the world in June 2008. The 12th IIHF Inline World Championship will be hold in Bratislava’s Samsung Arena (Nepela Stadium) from June 21 to June 29.

“We are interested about participation of Slovak NHL Ice Hockey players in the Inline World Championship and we hope that they will represent Slovak National InLine team. Inline skating is a part of a summer training for many of them. Demitra, Hossa brothers, Gaborik, Visnovsky and Podhradsky become members of inline teams in the summer too. This Championship will be little bit different than last year in Germany concerning date of its beginning. Usually it is in time when NHL players try to spend holiday with family. The 2008 Inline Championship is going to be in the end of June. It is a great time when Slovak NHL and extraligue Ice Hockey players are still in training phase so they could find much time to spend as inline hockey players.” said Imrich Antal, member of organisation team of IIHF InLine World Championship in Slovakia.

The best 16 inline hockey teams of the world will come in June to Bratislava, and first time in history of IIHF InLine World Championships, the Canada National Team will join in. The last time Canada participated (in 1998), they beat the U.S. for the gold medal.

Tickets

The tickets will cost 75 Sk (2,8 €) and 55 Sk (2,4 €) for a whole day. Organisers are planning 8 games per day. Bookings will start in adequate advance at Ticketportal.sk.

    Thanks for correct informations. I took the standings from an article published at Slovak Ice Hockey Federation’s website. I found the final standings from the 2007 IIHF Inline WC in Germany and I replaced that false one.
