2014 MHL World Championships
The 2014 MHL World Championships will be held next Easter-time, and in preperation, it is time for us to pick the host for the 2014 World Championships. There will be 3 leagues simultaneously going on in the World Championships, The "A", "B" and "C" Conferences. Teams in the "A" and "B" conferences will be able to compete to win the tournament, whilst teams in the "C" Conference will be trying to secure a place at the 2015 Championships.
You can host this tournament by filling out the following application:
To participate, fill out this form:
"A" Conference
This conference is comprised of the 6 teams that reached the knock-out phase in 2013.
- Birgeshir

"B" Conference
This conference is comprised of the other nations that took part in 2013.

Note: Due to Los Bay Petros being removed from Micras, a play-off will decide the remaining team to participate in the "B" Conference via a qualifying tournament to be held in early 2014, unless the host nation picked did not participate in 2013, in which case they will get the "B" Conference space.

Re: 2014 MHL World Championships
Nation to host: Nova English Korea
Stadiums: Port Barret Arena, 5000, Port Barret
Hanseong Hockey Stadium, 4500, Hanseong
PB-Bank Centre, 4000, King's Landing
Mercury Ice Arena, 6000, Mercury (Mercury) - under construction
Why do you want to host?: Although only a small nation, Nova English Korea's passion for ice hockey was given a major boost with their success in the previous championships. With ice hockey now being taught on the PE curriculum in Korean schools, participation is soaring to higher levels than have ever been seen before. "C" Conference games will be hosted in Mercury, with the state-of-the-art Mercury Ice Arena due to open towards the back end of this year. Free travel will be arranged between Nova English Korea and the Mercurian mainland, to ensure that spectators are able to see as much of our country as possible during their time here, and the traditional Mercurian hospitality will help them feel right at home.

Hosting bids deadline is 00:00 UTC on the 1 December 2013. If you haven't already bidded but want to, you have about 4 or 5 days...
Re: 2014 MHL World Championships
The deadline for bidding has now passed (about a week ago ), and the bids from both Mar Sara and Nova English Korea are being analysed, and the hosts will be announced shortly.
We'd like to thanks both nations for their bids.

Re: 2014 MHL World Championships
Due to Gerenia's removal from Micras, Craitland, who finished 5th at last year's "A" Conference, will retain that status and play in the "A" Conference again in 2014.
Re: 2014 MHL World Championships
The MHL is proud to announce the responsibility of hosting the 2014 MHL World Championships has been awarded to NOVA ENGLISH KOREA. The MHL stated that it was very close to call between the two bids, Nova English Korea just edged it. However, the MHL encourages Mar Sara to bid again next time out for the 2015 tournament, citing their involvement in the MHL to be very positive!
The MHL has drafted up a provisional timetable of the tournament, which will be held between 5th-26th April 2014.

Re: 2014 MHL World Championships
As a gesture of goodwill, any Mar Saran passport holder will be allowed one free ticket to a group match of their choice.
Re: 2014 MHL World Championships
The Mar Saran County government expresses its disappointment at the decision of the MHL but accepts it and welcomes the offer made by Nova English Korea. A Sports Ministry spokesperson said: "We're still looking forward to a fantastic year of Shirerithian Ice Hockey, with Mar Sara's team on top form at the moment. We will definitely be applying for host status again in the future."

You'd struggle to make any money by having the host team not playing in any of the games...

Re: 2014 MHL World Championships
Due to Gerenia's re-claim on Micras, Craitland will be relegated to the 'B' conference whilst the qualifiers will now only see two, and not three, teams playing in the 'B' conference.
