Competing for tickets to Olympiad in September
Olympic ice hockey qualifying tournament to be held at Minsk-Arena Sports Complex

A hospitality zone is being arranged in the same style as during the 2014 IIHF World Championship. Meanwhile, Hyundai Auto Grad is helping with advertising. A recent press conference included presentation of a unique logo for the event, depicting a puck in the rink.
The Belarusian national ice hockey team is to begin training for the Olympic qualifying tournament in mid-August, under coach Dave Lewis. The squad will play two games against Kazakhstan ahead of the qualifier, notes Mr. Zavgorodny. He adds, “TV companies from Denmark and Slovenia are keen to broadcast the event.”
The Olympic qualifying tournament will take place in Minsk between September 1st and 4th, 2016, with Dave Lewis’ team competing for a place in PyeongChang, facing squads from Denmark, Poland and Slovenia.
