Latvia’s Saeima decided shortly before midnight on Sunday, 28th of May, to announce Monday, the 29th of May, a holiday in honour of Latvian ice hockey team’s third place and bronze medals earned in the World Ice Hockey Championship.
And while it has been made a holiday for such an occasion, exams previously planned to take place this day will still happen.
One of the reasons for making this day a holiday is giving countryside residents an opportunity to congratulate Latvia’s ice hockey team in Riga.
As it is known, Latvia’s national ice hockey team won against US with a score of 4:3, earning third place and bronze medals in the World Ice Hockey Championship 2023.
