Edmonton, Calgary and Prague have been selected as the host cities for the next edition of the World Cup of Hockey in 2028. The NHL and the NHL Players’ Association unveiled their choices Monday of the two Canadian cities and the capital of the Czech Republic in connection with the league’s annual March general managers meeting. The event is being brought back as part of the plan to have an international competition with the NHL’s top players every even-numbered year, either the World Cup or the Olympics. The last World Cup of Hockey took place in 2016 and before that 2004, with labor strife among the reasons it has not been staged regularly.

Alex Ovechkin is 40 years old and nearing the end of his 21st season in the NHL, all with the Washington Capitals, and his latest contract is up. Eleven months since becoming the league's career goal-scoring leader, the face of the franchise has yet to say whether this is it or if he wants to play again in 2026-27. The Capitals are planning for either contingency while ushering in a youth movement on the fly. Trading 36-year-old organizational cornerstone John Carlson at the trade deadline was the latest step in them turning the page on a group of players that were part of winning the Stanley Cup in 2018.
