I highly doubt there's much intrest in this radical a change though. It's pretty tough to change existing rinks and if only a few were changed as they were built you would have home field advantage like MLB.

Or they could play the World Cup tournament on the larger ice to monitor how the game is played and how some of the best players in the NHL can utilize the extra space.
