“” has asked the opinion of an expert close to the organizers of the World Cup, if the tournament can be postponed to another time.
A little earlier, a columnist for the Canadian resource TSN wrote in his article that it is possible that the Ice Hockey World Cup, originally scheduled for February 2024, will be postponed to other dates. He attributed this to the fact that the parties concerned have not yet made a final decision regarding the participation of the Russian team in the World Cup.
– So far there is no specific information, and it is not related to Russia, – said the interlocutor of , who wished not to disclose his name. — The whole question is to know when to launch this tournament in order to win the most money. Is it worth doing in February when fans have already watched a lot of games and eaten hockey before the playoffs. At that time, even with subscriptions, people did not always come to the stadiums. They are waiting for April and the Stanley Cup.
Or maybe the World Cup is best held traditionally in September, when fans miss hockey, and that can pump up a lot of excitement. It all comes down to marketing dollars. And so the NHL can organize this tournament in a week. You have to find not only the right time, but also where to make the most money for the league and the union.
Six months ago, the vote took place, and among the candidates for the main matches of the World Cup, there were indeed New York, Toronto, like Los Angeles. But many of our Russian boys voted for Las Vegas. I wouldn’t be surprised if the World Cup is finally held in this city,” the source added.
The last World Cup was held in 2016.
