In addition to the trophies at the 2023 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship, the top three teams in the tournament will receive unique medals.
The diameter of the medal is 100 millimeters, and the thickness is 15 millimeters. It weighs 350 grams.
The visuals of the medal reflect the movement and atmosphere in the hockey rink, not forgetting the audience cheering on the teams. This was a special addition considering it was not long ago that sports and other events had to be held without an audience.
The audience is an integral part of the Ice Hockey World Championships, which is why the medal is intended to honor the audience and its role in the hockey event.
Designer Marko Salonen is happy to be able to participate in the 2023 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship in this way. The same design agency also designed the look of the 2022 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship.
For Salonen, what is special about the design in the medal is its ability to go inward from the center. It imitates the top-down arena tribunes and the hockey rink in the middle.
