How many games will be on The Ocho?
One perk to the World Cup of Hockey being on ESPN (aside from the return of the iconic NHL on ESPN theme music - hey, remember when ESPN broadcast NHL games?) is that ESPN has about ten different channels to broadcast the games on.
Games will be broadcast on ESPN, ESPN 2, and ESPNews, along with WatchESPN (but you’ll need a cable or satellite log-in for that one). Get ready for a hockey coma this weekend.
The eight teams are broken down into two groups:
Group A
Group B
- Team Finland
- Team North America
- Team Russia
- Team Sweden
Here’s how you can watch Vladimir Tarasenko, Patrik Berglund, Colton Parayko, Jay Bouwmeester, Alex Pietrangelo, Jori Lehtera, and Dmitrij Jaskin (and Vladimir Sobotka, if you’re into that sort of thing):
