The scene on Sunday afternoon in Prague was very reminiscent of that of the previous year in Tampere. As usual, the International Ice Hockey Federation IIHF invited people to a press conference on the final day of its World Championship. And just like in Finland in 2023, IIHF President Luc Tardif was in a good mood on the podium in the Czech Republic, giving a lot of praise to the organizers, the teams and the fans.
