Good Morning Addicts!
The tournament would take place every four years in February. Between the World cup and the Olympics, hockey fans would have a major international competition every second year.
The International Ice Hockey Federation is looking to make a ten to twelve year plan but is wanting a commitment from the players. It would seem the lockout is holding them back but it isn't expected to be a major problem. Once the players and the owners can figure out how to share three billion dollars, the rest should fall in to place.
The World Cup has been played onle twice with U.S.A. winning in 1996 and Canada taking it in 2004.

Not sure how I feel about the WC.
At the end of the day, I feel like it's presence only dilutes the importance of the Olympics and yearly Worlds.
