BIHF Head: Belarus fit to host world championship again

        By staging an excellent hockey world championship, Belarus reaffirmed it can organize such big tournaments at the highest level, Chairman of the Belarusian Ice Hockey Federation Evgeny Vorsin told reporters. We did a good job on all fronts: reception of guests, organization, service. Minsk also broke the attendance record, which was noted by representatives of all the participating teams and the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) and its President Rene Fasel, Evgeny Vorsin said. Everyone says Minsk should bid again to host the world championship. But one thing is to make such statements right on the heels of the event. But when the dust settles and the enthusiastic emotions settle down this will be another story, said Evgeny Vorsin. It is a well known fact that the IIHF seeks to stage world championships in new countries to popularize the sport of hockey in new regions of the world. The coming championships have already been scheduled right until 2018, said Evgeny Vorsin. In general, the chances of success are good, but before getting into a fight, we need to consider and calculate everything, and then we may repeat this year's success, said the Chairman of the BHF, who was also a member of the organizing committee of the 2014 world championship.
