Why does it have to be someone's fault? Omnicron is taking over, something that wasn't factored in, in even after teams had actually arrived, never mind the planning stage.
And this tournament, thanks to TSN going it by a factor of 10000000%, according to a series of threads by Gord Miller earlier in the week, basically brings in enough revenue for the year for the IIHF to stage all the other IIHF tournaments in the year, including the women's tournament.
Money talks, so getting this one in, makes sense given how other tournaments (hockey and otherwise) were staged this past year. But the Omnicron clearly can bust through quarantines, even though it's affect on people's respitory systems equate to a cold for 90% of the population.
