Ice Hockey World Championships start today

The Ice Hockey World Championships start today in Bratislava and Košice, and the Slovak team will play the USA and Finland over the weekend. The last time Slovakia made it to the play-offs was in 2013, and it remains to be seen whether the young Slovak team will clear this hurdle this year.

When Slovakia held the Championships in 2011, visitors spent €11m in Bratislava and €5m in Košice, mostly on hotels and restaurants.
