more like the other way around, TSN made this tournament what it was. It certainly helped TSN become bigger. This tournament was a no name barely attended tournament in the 80s, 90s and early 00's. In fact TSN grew it so much the IIHF basically had Canada hosting it every other year because no one attended it in Europe.

It was the revenue they made from this that allowed them to get into the NHL hockey broadcasting.

I'm a bit conflicted. I really want to root for the Czechs but also kinda hoping for Canada to pull their head out of their asses and get the win so we don't have to face Sweden in the semis

Doesn't hurt that a lot of Canadians used to pay extraordinary prices for tickets. The IIHF likes that and the TSN broadcast rights are bank.
