RIX Welcomes You to the City of Ice-Hockey Fans!
RIX is the name of the beaver, the mascot of the 2006 IIHF World Championship. RIX is also the international code of Riga International Airport. 
The Latvian Hockey Federation held a competition to find the mascot for the World Championship, and some 100 designs were received. Many of Latvia’s typical animals were proposed as the mascot – not only beaver, but also squirrel, wagtail, stork etc. After careful consideration LHF chose the beaver as the mascot.
