Possible ticket revenues to be fully directed to the development of Finnish ice hockey

Ticket sales are the most significant source of income for the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship Organizer. In the 21st century, more than 17 million euros of IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship profits have been allocated to various ice hockey development projects. 

With the previous profits it has been possible to hire 160 professionals to local ice hockey clubs to develop club activities and to support the coaching of children and young people. Through the skills Coach project launched after the 2012 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship in Finland, the Finnish Ice Hockey Association has supported the salaries of 29 children and youth skills coaches working in hockey clubs with five million euros, for example.

“Previously, the profits of the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championships have been directed entirely to the development of Finnish ice hockey, ranging from little Juniors of the local Clubs to the training opportunities of the national teams. We will stay on the same path if we are able to generate good revenues from the 2022 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship, ”says Harri Nummela, Chairman of the Finnish Ice Hockey Association.
