2010 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships

Other host candidates

Initially, Switzerland was chosen to host the tournament, but later withdrew.

Three bid groups submitted letters of intent to host the 2010 tournament prior to the February 1, 2008, deadline:

• Joint bid by Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Moncton, New Brunswick;
• Joint bid by Saskatoon and Regina, Saskatchewan; and
• Joint bid by Winnipeg and Brandon, Manitoba

All three bid groups formally placed their bids before the April 1, 2008, deadline and made their final presentations to the selection committee in Toronto on June 9–10, 2008.

On July 7, 2008, Hockey Canada and the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) announced Saskatoon and Regina have been chosen to host the tournament. This was Saskatchewan's first successful bid in five recent attempts, after failing to land the 1999, 2003, 2006 and 2009 tournaments.
