Gary Bettman Unveils Exciting NHL Project in Latest Announcement
Back in early December, there were reports that the NHL had its sights set on hosting an international, in-season, best-on-best men's hockey tournament by 2025. Recent developments suggest progress is being made, as mentioned by NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman during a recent pregame broadcast.
Joining the crew before the Winter Classic between the Vegas Golden Knights and Seattle Kraken, Bettman shared,
"And we'll get to announcing something relatively soon that is going to be about best on best international, which extenuates one of the great strengths of our game."
Bettman referred to the international tournament as a precursor to an upcoming World Cup of Hockey. The last best-on-best tournament took place in 2016, with Canada hosting the World Cup of Hockey. The participating teams included Canada (24-and-over), the United States (24-and-over), Czechia, Finland, Sweden, Russia, Europe, and North America (23-and-under).
