The NHL is officially gearing up for a World Cup of Hockey comeback. 🌍⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Per TSN’s Darren Dreger, the league plans to move forward without the IIHF, directly working with international clubs for an eight-country tournament in the 2027–28 season, the same year as the next Summer Olympics. 🏒⁣
⁣
Preliminary rounds will split between North America and Europe, before the semis and finals hit North American ice.⁣ 👀⁣
⁣⁣
While the exact field isn’t confirmed, expect more variety than February’s 4-Nations Face-Off, with Czechia, Slovakia, and potentially Germany, Switzerland, Austria, or Latvia in the mix. Russia remains the biggest question mark given their IIHF ban.⁣ 🥅⁣
⁣⁣
With stars like Connor Bedard, Macklin Celebrini, and Juraj Slafkovsky entering their primes, the stage is set for a new generation of best-on-best hockey. 🚨#thegist⁣
