There are a lot of sports in the Olympics which feature many athletes from the same country including team events, why can't it be the same in Hockey? I could see Canada icing two competitive teams.

This isn't a bad idea.

Which would you rather see at the Olympics? Two teams who can actually play against each other and have a competitive game or see countries like Norway/GermanyBelarus get hammer 7-0 by the powerhouse teams?

Make a qualifying tournament (say the WHC), that consist of 16 teams: Canada (2), Russia (2), USA (2), Sweden (2), Finland (2), Slovaks, Czech, Swiss, Germans, Belarus, and Norway. Top 10 teams in each pool gets to qualify for the Olympics.

Pool A: Canada (a), Russia ( b ), USA (a), Sweden ( b ), Finland (a), Czechs, Swiss, Belarus.

Pool B: Canada ( b ), Russia (a), USA ( b ), Sweden (a), Finland ( b ), Slovaks, Germans, Norway.

Also, have the age restriction to 21, so you can invite younger players to fill up the rosters.
