True.Isn't it always, it's a material world sadly.
Would I like an old time WJR's? Of course but it is what it is.
Just curious to see where it will be played.

Quoting myself...Having said that, I am sure the IIHF and Hockey Canada will want to make $$$ - holding it in Quebec City / Montreal could work. Of course, Alberta is flush with cash and TSN will be there in August so that would also work.
This would require some foresight and vision from Hockey Canada though, something they are entirely bereft of.They really should move the tournament around when it's in Canada to avoid further burning out the main hockey markets. Let places actually miss hosting the tournament in order to sustain long term interest. Quebec City could be great, and Saskatchewan would probably be good to go before too long even after hosting in 2010. Among smaller locations London and Halifax would sell out and provide a great atmosphere while giving a break to the big cities.
Should always be held in Canada. People actually show up to the games.Going forward, assuming Canada gets the tournament 4 times a decade, one tournament should be held in Montreal, one in Toronto, one in Vancouver and one in a smaller location.
I can live with that.Should always be held in Canada. People actually show up to the games.
That's a bridge too far. Give them a chance to make it right in August and December 2022.IMO Edmonton and the province of Alberta need to be given the Russia treatment and have the tournament stripped from them over their handling of the debacle this past winter. There is no way that the tournament should have been cancelled. It was sheer incompetence on the part of the organizers that caused that to happen.

Good point. Well said.It's weird I keep reading this...
At the exact same time the Spengler Cup was cancelled in Switzerland.
At the exact same time the Finnish Liiga had several teams in quarantine.
A few weeks later and the KHL cancelled the rest of their regular season and went straight to playoffs.
It wasn't just Canada cancelling things.
You just know where that attitude comes from. Fans can be so downright petty on here.It's weird I keep reading this...

Pity Newfoundland doesn't have big enough arenas to host.They really should move the tournament around when it's in Canada to avoid further burning out the main hockey markets.

Only in Canada cause of how much money is made at the games. In Europe 7k seating if fineNewfoundland would be tremendous if the facilities were suitable. 7,000 seats max won't work unfortunately.
All in Edmonton.
Your group got easier too... I don't like our chances of beating you guys at all!I’m glad, no more wacky Red Deer camera angles
