The World Cup of Hockey will be making a comeback this summer, and the NHL will be announcing the preliminary rosters tomorrow. The Washington Capitals will likely have a high participation rate due to a strong season fueled by the emergence of many young, talented players.
There will be eight teams in this summer’s World Cup, a list made up of Team Canada, Team USA, Team Sweden, Team Finland, Team Russia, Team Czech Republic, Team Europe and Team North America.
Unlike most international tournaments, the World Cup will be played on an NHL-sized rink and abide by NHL rules.
