All these arenas are within a 1 hour flight of each other, have low Covid numbers, can house 4 teams playing every other day, and would be a pretty amazing place to play a tournament. Especially the Okanagan.

Ice isn't a very big limiting factor here, it's the other infrastructure that is more important (hotels in close proximity, etc.). NHL will want plug and play in terms of TV broadcast - lighting, camera positions, and permanent broadcast infrastructure being key.
That said, the Okanagan is an intriguing option
