This has never happened.

Again, the relevance is in it being a proper best on best tournament that the entire hockey playing world cares about. Large best on best tournaments have a clear and obvious track record at positively growing and popularizing sports internationally.
Olympic Hockey >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Any other International Tournament for Hockey
 
NHL playoffs >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Any other domestic or international tournament for hockey including the Olympics.
 
All that being said, still doesn't mean that people can't or won't enjoy the first international tournament in some time. I am looking forward to it.
 
A real World Cup of Hockey, held in late summer every four years, and taking up part of training camp for those players, with qualification games over the course of the year, would be the obvious best possible tournament, just like in soccer.

ah well.

That >>> Olympic hockey >>>>>>> whatever this is
 
"whatever this is" seems to be a legit best of the best on best and the players definitely seem very into it.

which is all that actually matters.

not sure why people think the players are extra motivated by a tournament being in the olympics or not.
 
All I care about is whether the players are into it or not. If they go balls to the wall, there is not a single reason to ever complain about a best on best tournament. Why would the name of the tournament be the deciding factor about whether we care or not?

Are you actually Preston or a Preston alias?
