The 4 Nations Face-Off was a massive success for not just the NHL, but the game of hockey as a whole.
But NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman isn’t sure the tournament will be making a return during the 2025-26 season.
Making an appearance on “The Rich Eisen Show,” Bettman explained why the league will have to think long and hard about how the tournament would fit into next year’s schedule due to the Winter Olympics and World Cup of Hockey also being played.
Because of the success, hockey fans believed it only made sense for the league to continue building upon the inaugural tournament.
Bettman and the rest of his high-ranking executives will work to see if there is a solution that keeps the tournament from being a one-off moving forward.
