Host selection
Four nations, all located in Europe placed formal bids to host the 2011 IIHF World Championship. Those nations were:
Finland withdrew from bidding before voting began in order to apply for the 2012 World Championship. Finland and Sweden would both later win respective bids to host in 2012 and 2013, but this decision was later changed instead for the two Nordic countries to be joint hosts of the 2012, and 2013 IIHF World Championship editions.[1]
After one round of voting, the winning bid was announced by IIHF president René Fasel on May 19, 2006, at the delegates congress of the International Ice Hockey Federation in Riga, Latvia. Slovakia's bidding cities received 70 votes, followed by the Swedish bid cities of Stockholm, and Gothenburg with 20 votes, and finally the Hungarian bid with 14 votes. The required 50% of the vote had been attained in the first round, which finalized Slovakia's successful bid.[2]
Ivan Gašparovič, the President of Slovakia, was instrumental in Slovakia winning its successful bid, as he came in person to the delegates congress in Riga to endorse his countries bid, and convince the IIHF delegates of the viability of Slovakia. Gašparovič is himself an avid hockey fan and past vice-president of the Slovak Extraliga team, HC Slovan Bratislava.[3]

Official song
Song Life is a Game by Slovak singer Kristina was officialy released on March 18th.
Mascot
Goooly[4] is the official mascot of the tournament. Goooly is a Gray wolf, and Igor Nemeček, the 2011 IIHF World Championship general director, said he was chosen because: "Wolves are animals which are typically Slovak, evoking our forests and countryside".[5] Over 14,000 entries were submitted for a national contest to name the mascot organized in association with Radio Expres and the Slovak Ice Hockey Federation.[6] It is a word-play on the Slovak words for goal, and/or goals (Slovak: gól, góly).[7]
Motto
TBA
Ambassadors
The official ambassadors of the 2011 IIHF World Championship Slovakia are Slovak hockey players Peter Bondra, Zdeno Chára, Marián Gáborík, Ľubomír Višňovský, Pavol Demitra, Jozef Stümpel, Marián Hossa, Miroslav Šatan and Slovak President Ivan Gašparovič.[8]
Venues
The Samsung Arena in Bratislava, also known as the Ondrej Nepela Arena, was substantially upgraded for the championship, in line with IIHF, Slovak, and international specifications, largely funded by the Slovakian government. Construction began on April 23, 2009 and was completed on November 30, 2010.[9] More than €65 million ($90 million USD) was spent to install a new roof, modernize facilities, build two new adjacent practice arenas, and bring the seating from 8,350 to 10,000.[10][11] The Steel Aréna, also known as the Ladislav Troják Arena, which was newly constructed in 2006, had a new €11 million practice rink built adjacent, between April 2009 and February 2010 for the World Championship legacy of future hockey development in Slovakia.[12] The stadium will have the name Orange Arena, but only for the time of World Championship 2011 29 April 2011 to 15 May 2011[13]
Both arenas will be known by their Slovak honorific titles during the 2011 World Championship to correspond with IIHF neutral non-inclusive sponsorship rules.[14] (Samsung Arena as the Ondrej Nepela Arena, and Steel Aréna as the Ladislav Troják Arena.)

Trailer
A trailer was created for the World Championship which is entitled: Slovak Republic becomes the Hockey Republic! (Slovak: Slovenská republika sa mení na hokejovú republiku!). The trailer starts with ice and snow gradually covering Slovakia and ends with Slovak hockey players jumping onto the ice and shooting a puck.[20] The player who shoots has the number 38 on his hockey jersey, the same as the Slovak legend Pavol Demitra. It features the Slovak countryside, and Trojične square, in Trnava. It took a 70-man film crew, more than 100 extras, several 3D animators, and the support of the Slovak Tourist Board.[21]
Online
For the first time in an IIHF World Championship, a Youtube channel was created to promote the Slovakia 2011 tournament.[22] A video campaign was launched on this Youtube website which featured the christening of the mascot Goooly,[23] updates on the construction work of the arena's,[24] and the status of general preparations.[25]
An official Facebook page was also created for the championship, being only the second tournament to do so, after the 2010 IIHF World Championship in Germany.[26] Its 10,000 "fan" was awarded a prize by the tournaments organizing committee.[27]
