The IIHF World Cup is looked upon fondly in the European countries. As such I was not a fan of the World Cup of Hockey. Especially because of the weird "Team Europe" and "Team North America".
But during the World Cup of Hockey these Teams proofed me wrong and added a level of spectacle I did not anticipate.
This is why I now like the concept.
What do you think? Should it be a thing again? How do you compare it to Olympics / IIHF World Cup?
(Personally I still think: Olympics > IIHF World Cup > World Cup of Hockey)
