IIHF Men's Ice Hockey Under 18 World Championship Divisions IIA, IIB, IIIA, IIIB and IIHF Women's Ice Hockey World Championship Divisions IB and IIA have been cancelled due to Coronavirus.

IIHF World Championships Division IV which was due to be held in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan from the 3rd to the 5th of March has been postponed due to Coronavirus.
 
According to the National Teams of Ice Hockey social media pages a letter has been sent to the IIHF and dates for Division IV are to be announced.

I am travelling home from watching the group in Nottingham but thought I would post my thoughts, first of all I enjoyed watching all of the matches and felt there was a good atmosphere at the games.
 
I do feel sorry for the Estonian team after their games but it was always going to be a difficult group for them, the Romanian team impressed me and gave both Great Britain and Hungary tough matches so I will be interested to see how they perform in Division 1A this year.
 
It would have been nice to see Great Britain reach the final round of qualifying but full credit to Hungary who played well and deservedly won the group, good luck to them for the final round in Latvia.
 
Hopefully we can have more tournaments like this in Great Britain in the future.

Livestream for The Brasov tournament is working on this channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQy_pbWj6rqnNfNza6YqLiw
 
 

No informations available so far, but I think we may be positive in this case, Romania is famous for livestreaming the hockey events in the country, especially the ones held in Brasov, I remember some tournaments with perfect official youtube livetsream from Brasov.

Great to read about the growing interest of Ice Hockey in GB.
 
With home advantage of GB´s passionate fans and everything around the current huge boost hockey is experiencing there I think GB may be considered as a the main fav for the qualification to the final qualifying round

Already booked my accommodation for Group J in Nottingham, I think on paper Romania are most likely to be the fourth team in that group but personally I am hoping for an outsider like Spain to make it through and appear in Nottingham.
 
My main hope though is that  win Group J and that I could then go and watch them play in the final round of qualifying.

Congratulations to Dario Cologna on winning Gold in the Men's 15km Freestyle for the 3rd Winter Olympics running.
 
Had hoped Andrew Musgrave would do better after his performance in the 30km Skiathlon but it was not to be.
 
I think my personal highlight though has to be the Project Bogota competitors all finishing and the congratulations from Dario Cologna at the end. That's how it should be in my opinion.

It's so nice to see that Project Bogota athletes stick together and congratulate each other on the finish lane, truly friendship and olympic spirit 

Amazing result for Musgarve and GB taking our best ever result from 29th to 7th!

15 km freestyle.
 
A lot of interesting exotic stories will be in that race. I plan to write a preview of all that.
