The 2016 World Cup of Hockey (WCH2016[1]) is an international ice hockey tournament. It is the third installment of the National Hockey League (NHL)-sanctioned competition, 12 years after the second World Cup of Hockey in 2004. It began on September 17 and is scheduled to end no later than October 1, 2016 at Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[2]

Teams

The teams were officially announced on September 10, 2015 by the International Ice Hockey Federation. The teams are:[3]

Rosters

Further information: 2016 World Cup of Hockey rosters

Each team's roster is limited to twenty skaters (forwards and defencemen) and three goaltenders. All eight participating teams submitted their initial roster of sixteen players on March 2, 2016.

Jerseys

Each one of the national teams' players wear a customized jersey, which Adidas has agreed to manufacture. "The design and development of the World Cup of Hockey uniforms was a true collaboration between adidas, the NHL and the NHLPA, with important input provided by each participating team," said Brian Jennings, NHL CMO and Executive Vice President. "The best hockey players in the world require the best innovation in uniforms. It was imperative that the uniforms not only feature the best in performance wear but also creatively showcase modern interpretations of each country's rich history."

Players are always excited to wear their national colors on the international stage and these adidas uniforms certainly continue that tradition. In these unique World Cup of Hockey 2016 jerseys, the game's greatest players will add another chapter to hockey's international story.

— Mathieu Schneider, National Hockey League Players' Association Special Assistant to the Executive Director, stated for NHL.com.

Broadcasting

In Canada, Rogers Communications will hold broadcast rights to the tournament; the tournament will be aired by Sportsnet and CBC in English and TVA Sports in French. Although it was initially reported that Rogers was allowed to match competing bids for the rights (such as by Bell Media and ESPN's TSN) per its holding of exclusive national media rights to the NHL in Canada, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman denied that there was such a rule, and that the bidding process was "competitive". [citation needed]

In the United States, the tournament will be broadcast by ESPN and ESPN Deportes; NBC Sports, the national rightsholder of the NHL in the United States, passed on the tournament due to scheduling conflicts with various events, such as auto racing, college football, the Ryder Cup, and the Summer Paralympics.[5][6]

ESPN will also broadcast the tournament for the Spanish-speaking Latin American countries, the Commonwealth Caribbean, the Pacific Rim and Brazil. Eurosport will also broadcast the tournament in most of Europe. In Russia, the tournament will be broadcast by Channel One and Match TV. In Finland, the tournament will be broadcasting Viasat Sport and Nelonen. In Sweden, Denmark and Norway, the tournament will be broadcasting Viasat Sport. In the Czech Republic, the tournament and exhibition games will be broadcast by public channel ČT Sport and in Slovakia by Markíza.[citation needed]
