Thinking Big When It Comes To The World Cup Of Hockey

from Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun,

A possible Olympic-village type setting for teams and fans alike, representing all the countries involved.

A splashy opening ceremony befitting what the NHL considers to be a major international event.

A series of concerts sprinkled throughout the two-week event that will augment the product on the ice.

Events held in conjunction with the Toronto International Film Festival, which will be going on at the same time.

Taking a page from the the annual “A Taste of Danforth” Food Festival, how about a Taste of The World Cup event, one in which fans can have the opportunity to graze on some of the dishes native to the countries taking part in the tournament?

In the minds of the NHL and NHLPA kingpins who are setting up the World Cup of Hockey, these are some of the ideas they would like to see come to fruition as part of the tournament, which will run Sept. 17–Oct. 1, 2016 at the Air Canada Centre.
