NHL and NHLPA Open Bidding for World Cup of Hockey 2028 – Which City Will Score the Ultimate Win?
“I’d love to see our Russian players playing in these tournaments again,” Walsh said in February. “They’re incredible hockey players. The issues are political. Not political as far as the NHLPA; it’s world politics we have to get through. I’m hoping that as we get closer to the Olympics, closer to the World Cup, we will start seeing Russian athletes back in the competition.”
The World Cup of Hockey will not involve the IIHF. It’s expected the NHL may work with international leagues to fill out rosters for teams that don’t have a full complement of NHL players. For example, there are only three Slovakian defensemen and one Swiss goaltender who appeared in NHL games last season.
