The National Hockey League and NHLPA are hoping that the World Cup of Hockey which is set to take place in Toronto, ON between September 17th-October 1st will be highly successful.

 

They believe it can usher in a new era of international competition, thereby becoming a “regular event”, according to NHL.com.

 

Said Gary Bettman: “We would like to do the World Cup on a regular basis, perhaps in locations around the world… With the World Cup as the foundation, you’re going to see an increased international presence on a regular basis.”

 

While official discussions have not taken place yet, the NHL believes that North American hockey can become a huge hit across all the continents.
