Saskatchewan faces stiff competition, and a fast process, as they try to land the 2023 world junior hockey championship.
When Saskatoon landed the 1991 event, the city raised its collective hands in the air and said something along the lines of “thank goodness.”With grain prices hovering lower than a Death Valley vulture, and the GST bringing fear and loathing to the retail sector, an influx of cash-carrying hockey types is a welcome sight.
Fast-forward to Saskatoon’s successful 2010 joint bid with Regina, which followed four previous rejections. There was a sense that the province might never get another chance at this particular event, given its growth and cash-flow demands. Russia will no longer be allowed to host the 2023 world junior championship due to its invasion of Ukraine, which means it reverts to Canadian soil, and cities wanting to host on an impromptu basis can take their best shot and see what happens next.
Saskatoon has hosted one recent major sports extravaganza already — the Canadian Olympic curling trials — and both prospective host cities do big-event things well.
