THE WORLD CHAMPIOSNHIPS DIV.III CANCELLED FOR 2010.

Following the meeting of the IIHF council earlier today it was decided to cancel the World Championship Div.III for the season 2010. It’s the first time in the IIHF history that a World Championship gets cancelled 2 months before the drop of the puck. Also any sanctions against the Hellenic Ice Sport Federation according IIHF Bylaws and Regulations will be discussed and decided by the Council in their meeting in March 2010.

What started so ideal 2 years ago ends with sadness and disgrace.

Icehockey.gr wants to thank Dimitris Kalyvas and Giotis Efkarpidis for reviving Greek Ice Hockey as well as all the boys of the National Team Panagiotis Iatridis, Kostas Lembesis, Giorgos Kalyvas, Orestis Tilios, Lazaros Efkarpidis, Nikos Chatzigiannis, Giorgos Kouleles, Pavlos Kasampoulis, Fivos Kaminis, Themistoklis Lambridis, Alexandoros Valsamas-Rallis, Iasonas Pachos, Viktoras Mateebitsi, Giorgos Fiotakis, Libor Ploutsis, Nikos Papadopoulos, Yannis Ziakas, Yannis Giatagatzidis, Diogenis Souras, Yannis Koufis, Grigoris Apostolidis, Thanasis Kesidis, Kyriakos Adamidis and Giorgos Adamidis for giving it your all.

DESPITE THE ENEMIES OF ICE HOCKEY IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY, YOU NEVER GAVE UP THE FIGHT. 

THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT MEMORIES!

The 2010 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS of Athens OFFICIALLY CANCELLED

AfAfter various accusations that started a few days after the October elections in Greece from Aggelos Aliferis (ex-responsible of Ice Hockey of the Hellenic Ice Sports Federation) and the denial of the Minister of Sports, Panos Bisaksis to fund the World Championships as he had obligation to do so, and despite the efforts of Dimitris Kalyvas, Kostas Lembessis, Panagiotis Iatridis and Giotis Efkarpidis with the support of the whole National Team, the International Ice Hockey Federation decided yesterday February 1st to officially cancel the 2010 World Championship Div. III of Athens.

A meeting will be held between the members of council of the IIHF in order to decide the future of the games in the next few days.

The National Team Players are singing the National anthem after qualifying for the 2008 World Championships which contributed in the opening of an ice rink in Athens after almost 6 years and a Greek Championship after 8.

A great video showing the passion and love these athletes have for their country. Hopefully the Greek Ministry of Sports feels the same way and decides to fund the World Championship of Athens.
