The NHL and NHL Players' Association have abandoned plans to hold a World Cup of Hockey in 2024 and said they hope to stage it in 2025.
That would have meant the likes of Alex Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin, Andrei Vasilevskiy and Nikita Kucherov being left out, which would have taken a huge chunk of talent out of the tournament.

Two months ago, when it looked likely the World Cup would indeed happen, U.S. star Jack Eichel said, “Don’t hold your breath” in a skeptical tone that turned out to be warranted.
