STOCKHOLM -- The NHL is working with the NHL Players' Association to create an international competition to be held in February 2025 with the intention of beginning a regular rotation of Olympic participation and a World Cup of Hockey in the even years to follow, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said at the European Player Media Tour on Wednesday.

"So if we do a '25 international tournament, we do the '26 Olympics, the '28 World Cup of Hockey, the '30 Olympics, the '32 World Cup of Hockey, and so on," Daly said. "That's the goal."
Daly said the 2025 tournament does not have to follow the same format of a World Cup of Hockey, which the League and the NHLPA held in 1996, 2004 and 2016. He said there have been no shortage of ideas being discussed.
