The 2016 World Cup of Hockey (WCH2016[1]) was an international ice hockey tournament. It was the third installment of the National Hockey League (NHL)-sanctioned competition, 12 years after the second World Cup of Hockey in 2004. It began on September 17 and ended on September 29.
Teams
The teams were officially announced on September 10, 2015 by the International Ice Hockey Federation. The teams are:[2]
- Canada (24-and-over players) — host
-
Czech Republic -
Finland -
Russia -
Sweden -
United States (24-and-over players) -
Europe (Players from European nations not already represented in the tournament.) - North America (23-and-under players)
National anthems
The national anthem for each team playing was played before the start of each game. However, there are two exceptions: no anthem was played for Team Europe because of the team's multiple national representatives, while both "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "O Canada" were played before games Team North America played.[3]
Rosters
For more details on this topic, see 2016 World Cup of Hockey rosters.
Each team's roster was limited to twenty skaters (forwards and defencemen) and three goaltenders. All eight participating teams submitted their initial roster of sixteen players on March 2, 2016.
Jerseys
Each one of the national teams' players wore a customized jersey manufactured by Adidas.[4]

Broadcasting
In Canada, Rogers Communications held broadcast rights to the tournament; the tournament was aired by Sportsnet in English and TVA Sports in French. Similarly to its sub-licensing agreement for Hockey Night in Canada, the semi-finals and finals were simulcast by CBC Television.[6][7] Although it was initially reported that Rogers was allowed to match competing bids for the rights (such as by Bell Media and ESPN's TSN) per its holding of exclusive national media rights to the NHL in Canada, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman denied that there was such a rule, and that the bidding process was "competitive".[8]
In the United States, the tournament was broadcast by ESPN and ESPN Deportes; NBC Sports, the national rightsholder of the NHL in the United States, passed on the tournament due to scheduling conflicts with various events, such as auto racing, college football, the Ryder Cup, and the Summer Paralympics.[8][9]
ESPN also broadcast the tournament for the Spanish-speaking Latin American countries, the Commonwealth Caribbean, the Pacific Rim and Brazil. In Russia, the tournament was broadcast by Channel One and Match TV. In Finland, the tournament was broadcast by Viasat Sport and Nelonen. In Sweden, Denmark and Norway, the tournament was broadcast by Viasat Sport. In the Czech Republic, the tournament and exhibition games were broadcast by public channel ČT Sport and in Slovakia by Markíza. In Germany, the tournament was broadcast by Sport 1. In Poland, the tournament was broadcast by public channel TVP Sport.
The broadcasts incorporated the use of technology by British firm Supponor to allow for the digital replacement of advertising on the boards on selected camera shots. These allowed a single advertiser at a time to brand the entire board, and for localization of advertising in different media markets.[10]
Officials
The NHL selected seven of their referees and seven linesmen to officiate the tournament.[11]
