The World Cup will take Sept. 17 to Oct. 1, with all games played at Air Canada Centre in Toronto. The games will be televised by ESPN in the United States, and Sportsnet and TVA Sports in Canada.

The format will feature eight teams separated into two groups for a preliminary round from Sept. 17-22.

The winners meet in a best-of-three Final with games played on Sept. 27, Sept. 29 and, if necessary, Oct 1.

Group A will consist of Team Canada, Team Czech Republic, Team USA and Team Europe, which will be comprised of the top players from countries outside the four European countries already competing in the tournament (Czech Republic, Finland, Sweden and Russia).

Group B features Team Russia, Team Finland, Team Sweden and Team North America, which will be comprised of the top North American-born players who will be 23 years old or younger as of Oct. 1, 2016

Should put in a poll to see how many people actually care, I really don't it's just not the same as the Olympics.  I understand that this tourney is to help build the game worldwide but the field is just too small to be entertaining.  It's kind of like the CFL, needs to be atleast double the teams to make it interesting.
