The NHL put the World Cup plans on the shelf

the NHL has stated that it will not go ahead with its plans to organise the World Cup in ice hockey the next year, after a meeting with the players association.

league representatives met with players association on Wednesday, local time, to see if the World Cup could be a part of the negotiations.

After the meeting both sides that the talks will continue with the hope to maybe organise a World Cup in the future, but that it is not realistic to plan one for the fall of 2020.

that may plan into the World Cup as part of a broader agreement, which shall contain a long-term calendar for international events, says the league's representatives in a statement.

unlike the OLYMPIC hockey and world CUP organized by the International ice hockey federation (IIHF) organized World Cup of the NHL. Thus can the world's best players participate in the tournament, which is not always the case in, for example, OS.

the World Cup has been organized under the name of the World Cup in 1996, 2004 and 2016 and, before then, there was its predecessor the Canada Cup.

In the World Cup 2016 lost Sweden in the semi-final against Europalaget with 2-3 after extra time.
