2021 women's world hockey championship rescheduled for end of August - Sportsnet.ca

The 2021 women’s world hockey championship will now be held from Aug. 20-31 at a site in Canada that has yet to be determined, the IIHF announced Friday.

The tournament, originally scheduled for May 6-16, was cancelled by the Nova Scotia government last week due to COVID-19 concerns. “The players, the teams, Hockey Canada, and the IIHF have been placed in a difficult position due to the sudden cancellation. But this is not an excuse to operate this tournament as a half-measure,” said IIHF President René Fasel said in a statement announcing the new dates. “We needed a range of dates that can work for the teams and also would allow for comprehensive broadcast coverage as well as a chance for spectators to be able to attend the games.

Good news!

Once again these decisions go against everything we as citizens have sacrificed and are still being asked to sacrifice. If I can’t sit on a patio at my local, get a haircut or visit family then this event should be cancelled.

I am a huge fan of sport, but 100% support NS decision to cancel. We are in lockdown here, and borders are closed. No one is allowed to play organized sport here so why would the IIHF and CassieCampbell feel they are above the law?

Will CassieCampbell eat a hot bowl of dick now? Hopefully she will apologize to NS, Dr. Strang and politicians that know way more than she does but I doubt it.

As a Nova Scotian hockey fan I think we better off without this championship it seems they couldn’t understand putting health in front of hockey so Ms Campbell and the women’s championship I will say sorry we don’t need you here

The 25 fans must be PUMPED!!! Can't wait!!! bradho93 SheldonSoares MooseRobes eharmsony mrobi039 mitchel02606109

Hopefully it won't get cancelled again fingers crossed

Awesome

All the whining has paid off.

This is great news!!!

Hooray!

Why change the location?

where will it be held?

EricEngels As a Canadian 🇨🇦 move it to the States so it’s a sure thing. The way we are handling things here I don’t see fans anywhere near an arena in August.
