The NHL and NHLPA will hold an auction for the 17-game tournament's TV rights. In Canada, that means TSN, Sportsnet and CBC are all expected to bid for the property.
It's a gamble to spend so much on a tournament like the World Cup when there's no guarantee Team Canada will advance beyond the round robin portion. But if it does, there could be a big payoff in TV ratings. The final of the World Cup will be a best-of-three format, TSN has learned.

Awesome....just like the 87 Canada cup format....which ranks right up there with the best hockey I have ever watched. The 2002 Olys and the 72 Summit series being the others besides several SC playoff series.
It's gonna be great!
