Hockey Canada has scheduled what it calls a "major press conference" for both Calgary and Edmonton Thursday, in which the organization is expected to announce that the two cities will co-host the 2012 world junior hockey championship.
It will be the first time as host for Alberta's two largest cities, although both received games during the 1995 world junior tournament that was held in Red Deer.
The Calgary-Edmonton bid won out over a competing bid from Toronto. Canada has won a medal at 10 consecutive IIHF world junior championships, including four consecutive gold medals (2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008).
