Tuning into the IIHF World Junior Championship in the liminal days between Boxing Day and the early days of the new year is a Canadian rite of passage. It’s an opportunity to gather together to watch the next generation of emerging hockey superstars and cheer for our winter national pastime.
In 2023, Halifax hockey fans had the opportunity to watch the action live as the city, alongside Moncton, New Brunswick, welcomed the world as the host cities for the elite hockey tournament.
The tournament was held at the Scotiabank Centre in the heart of downtown Halifax. With an average attendance of over 7,000 spectators per game, the 21 games hosted in Halifax drew enthusiastic hockey fans, with most Team Canada games played in front of sold-out crowds.
And the fun wasn’t just limited to the Scotiabank Centre. Halifax knows how to show up when there’s a big event in town, and the 2023 World Juniors were no exception.
