	Ice Hockey World Championships - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 2006 Ice Hockey World Championship was held in Riga, Latvia.
		While the top European players were officially able to compete in the World Championships while retaining their amateur status, players in the National Hockey League were prohibited for many years from entering in the tournament.
		The Championships ran the risk of established countries being displaced from pool A by the new teams as they advanced from pool C. As the IIHF depended on advertising revenue derived from the established countries, it decided to expand pool A to accommodate the existing pool A teams plus the new rising teams.

	World Championships burst into life
		After a slow start in oppressive heat, the Paris world championships burst into life in cool autumn weather over the final weekend.

		But any championships in which the U.S. do not win the men's 100 gold are regarded as a qualified success only by the Americans.
