IIHF Ice Hocky World Championship DIV1 Group A

[Tyke Devil]

Thinking of heading over to Budapest to watch some of this. Starts the week after the play-offs.

Week long break in a great City plus Ice Hockey thrown in. Seems like something that needs to be considered. Looked at flight & hotel prices and very reasonable at the moment. (no idea how much the games will be though)

Anyone been to any of these Championships before? Is it worth a trip?

Teams playing are: -

GBR / HUN / ITA / JPN / KAZ / KOR

Not been from a fans side but definitely worth doing speaking to a few who have and witnessing it from a different perspective. GB Supporters group normally run a trip and are a good bunch and you will make a few new friends etc Game tickets are not normally to expensive
