After dropping the idea of a scaled-down World Cup of Hockey in 2021, the NHL and NHLPA are now focused on a full-scale tournament, including play-ins and a proper leadup in 2024 and 2028, writes reporterchris.

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — The earliest we’ll get to see another best-on-best international hockey competition again is the 2022 Olympics.The league had been hoping to stage a scaled-down World Cup in February 2021, but recently decided to abandon that plan, commissioner Gary Bettman told reporters at the conclusion of Tuesday’s Board of Governors meeting.“It’s too big of an event to do in that short of a time frame,” said Bettman.

Discussions also remain open on Olympic participation, although those hinge more on what the International Olympic Committee can bring to the table — such as mitigating travel and insurance costs, or loosening the rules on footage and marketing — than any differences between the league and players. “I understand the importance to the players, but there’s a whole host of problems … it’s something that’s not on the same track as the World Cup.”
