NHL, NHLPA roll out long-term international calendar with 2028 World Cup of Hockey

After a nine year break from best-on-best international hockey, the NHL seems committed to making it a more regular occurrence.

The plan is to have 8 teams participating according to Bettman:

“At least eight countries” will be participating, doubling the 4 Nations format, which Bettman referred to as “merely a sample” of the World Cup. The other four participating federations have not yet been decided and it is possible that there will be a qualifying tournament to allow teams to play their way in.

“This is our tournament with our players,” Bettman said.

“Our anticipation is we’ll be using country-by-country teams,” Bettman said. “And again, we have a myriad of decisions that we have to make, which is one of the reasons that in the timeframe we had to put this [4 Nations] tournament together, this was the best format that was in a position for us to execute it in a first-class way with the timeframe that we had.”

Bettman couldn't confirm where the additional 4 countries would actually get their players from if they all have to be NHLers..

Gabe the babe is sticking around, even in the frigid winter. I’m thinking he gets extended, hopefully for 5-7 years. What a good dude.

Your advice about the ignore function is bang on.

I resisted the idea for years, but it's a game changer

Honestly it's the only reason I'm still here.

I have 2 rules - be respectful, and be able to present a cogent argument.

As a bonus, if you can be open minded - that's a big plus. I've had my mind changed here plenty.

I often butt heads with Gmoney but he is always lovely.

I really enjoy debating with guys like surixon because you get the sense that they are ready to engage and are reading, not just typing.

Gmoney was doing OK for a while until the last Stanley exchange a couple of weeks ago, and then I think he just realized he couldn't get away with the constant goalpost moving with me without me calling him out on it

Probably better off that a guy like him doesn't interact with a guy like me. Not once in all my time here did he say anything like "I hadn't thought of that" or "maybe I'm wrong" or even "that's a good point"... that's a huge red flag

That's when I quickly choose to see all and then realize why I ignored all those posters in the first place

Every once in a while I unignore my list other than a couple who I never want to communicate again with. Usually within a couple days my ignore list goes back to the way it was. It is a great feature though I’d love an option to keep your posts invisible to people on your ignore list so you can completely stay separate.
