Calgary/Edmonton to host 2012 World Junior Championship

Hockey Canada has scheduled what it calls a “major press conference” for both Calgary and Edmonton Thursday, in which the organization is expected to announce that the two cities will co-host the 2012 world junior hockey championship.

It will be the first time as host for Alberta’s two largest cities, although both received games during the 1995 world junior tournament that was held in Red Deer.

Considering Canadian fans care about this tournament more than fans from all other countries combined, it makes sense to have the tournament in Canada as much as possible.
