Kinda naive no? The NHL will be given the hammer since 2026's financial viability depends on being able to charge ticket prices with NHL players and not beer league players. So the NHL will be in position to dictate to the IOC on terms, since the the Calgary bid needs the NHL. NHL will demand it all. Will the IOC cave? Probably not.
