CALGARY (CP) - Quebec City will remain as the co-host of the 2008 world hockey championship.
Hockey Canada made the announcement Wednesday night, following the ratification of the host agreement by Quebec City's council, which had originally been signed in April 2003, and approval of the operational and financial plans for the 2008 tournament.

But Hockey Canada president Bob Nicholson said Wednesday that Quebec City will remain as the tournament co-host.
