TORONTO (AP) — The World Cup of Hockey will return, without a doubt, and avoid another 12-year break.
NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly and NHLPA Executive Director Don Fehr both confirmed for The Associated Press on Friday that they expect the next World Cup of Hockey to be in 2020.
It is much less certain whether the best players will go to South Korea to participate in the 2018 Olympics.
International Ice Hockey Federation President Rene Fasel told the AP on Tuesday the odds of NHL players going to the Pyeongchang Games were 50-50, a slight upgrade from his forecast in May.
