Ice hockey quiz: Now with all games cancelled, take part on your own tournament
This year’s IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship was supposed to take place in Switzerland. But the pandemic put a stop to that, so we’ll have to hold our own competition – to see who knows the most about ice hockey.
Sixteen teams were meant to play sixty-four games in full arenas in Zurich and Lausanne, and ŠKODA was going to be at the heart of the action as the champion’s official main sponsor. But now that Zurich’s Hallenstadion and the Vaudoise Arena in Lausanne will keep their doors closed, why not put your ice hockey knowledge to the test at least? Can you manage a final score of 10:0?
