IIHF World Championship in Russia in 2016

I have received this wonderful maxicard and FDC related to IIHF World Championship in Russia in 2016. The 2016 IIHF World Championship was the 80th such event hosted by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), being held in Moscow and Saint Petersburg, Russia, from 6 May to 22 May 2016.

Canada won their 26th gold medal, defeating Finland 2–0 in the gold medal game. With the win Corey Perry became the second consecutive Canadian team captain to earn membership in the Triple Gold Club. Russia won the bronze medal, defeating the United States 7–2 in the bronze medal game.

Laika, the mascot of the championship, is in the center of stamp. Stamp is issued on 06.05.2016.

I have received this inside very nice cover, with stamp Postcrossing, issued on 25.03.2016.


Thank you Ivan!
