As hockey fans prepared to watch their favorite NHL players take part in the 4 Nations Face-Off, the first best-on-best tournament since 2016, they received more good news ahead of puck drop.

The World Cup of Hockey is set to return in 2028, as announced by NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and NHLPA executive director Marty Walsh. This decision follows the cancellation of the planned 2024 tournament due to various issues including the impact of the global health crisis, scheduling conflicts, and player participation concerns. The 2028 event aims to resolve these issues, with plans to include a best-on-best format featuring players from around the globe. The tournament will be a collaborative effort between the NHL, the NHLPA, and the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), with discussions ongoing about the format, location, and potential expansion to include more international teams.
