They aren't doing one in 2008, and why was the 2008 World Championship result counted as the World Cup? I erased that, they are two very different tournaments. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.68.108.240 ( talk) 16:10, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
This page needs disambiguation, to include the word "ice" in the header. I am inclined to move it to World Cup of ice hockey but if that doesn't really fit with the WCH then I will move it to World Cup of Hockey (ice). Anyone got any suggestions? OK? Moriori 08:48, Aug 31, 2004 (UTC)
There have been a men's World Hockey Cup and women's World Hockey Cup for many years . See the following website, http://www.planetfieldhockey.com/PFH/Site-View-0-158. The hockey cup is contested by many countries. The final 16 at the last men's hockey cup were (in finish order) Germany, Australia, Korea, Pakistan, Argentina, England, Malaysia , New Zealand, India, Spain, Japan , South Africa, Belgium, Poland and Cuba. (India, where hockey is the national sport, probably has more field hockey players than all the ice hockey players in the world). Note at Field Hockey the following -- In the English-speaking world outside Canada and the United States, it is generally referred to simply as "hockey", as ice hockey is not commonly played there. Go to Hockey and you quite correctly reach a disambiguation page, and for Wiki to be consistent any mention of hockey elsewhere should also be disambiguated, especially as the ice people chose a name that can confuse.

Why was there no World Cup in 2000? Eight years seems like an unusual interval...I know the Canada Cup wasn't always four years, but it was never eight, was it. Adam Bishop 19:28, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
There is no common interval between World Cups of Hockey. They are just held when NHL feels like it. 192.194.238.242 14:05, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
The Canada Cup was a different entity. It was "retired" to make way for The World Cup of Hockey, which became redundant after a single run when NHL players were admitted to play in the Olympics. The World Cup and the 1972 Canada Russia Summit Series should certainly link to the Canada Cup, but each tournament should remain in it's own page. The three entities are not ambiguous. 156.34.189.34 04:47, 4 October 2006 (UTC)Wildman
Something ought to be added explaining the odd intervals of this tourney, as found here in the discussion page.
Some of the content on this page should be removed because it duplicates the Canada Cup page too much. If there are no objections... Kevlar67 02:14, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
I agree. The pre-1996 details should removed.-- SaskatchewanSenator 20:45, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
I don't think that'd be a good idea, as the discussion above mentions. 132.205.44.5 00:28, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
I have assessed this as a Start Class, as it contains enough detail and organization to be above a Stub Class, and of mid-importance, as I feel that many readers would have some familiarity, if not an in-depth knowledge, of the topic of the article. Cheers, CP 23:20, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Hosting Rights
Following the new outline by bothe the NHL and IIHF, nations expressing interest in hosting the World Cup had to submit bids. The three nations who put themselves in contention were Sweden, Russia and Switzerland Midway through the bidding process however Sweden announced it would change its bid to a joint bid with neighbouring Finland. After a long and complex evalution of each bid from the prospective hosts the joint Sweden/Finland bid won the rights to host the 2012 World Cup of Hockey.
Qualification
Unlike previous tournaments nations will haveto qualify fo the right to take part in the world cup. Sweden and Finland automaticaly qualify because of the fact that the are the host nations. Canada and the USA also qualify automaticaly as they are the only nations outside of Europe ranked in the top twenty according to the IIHF.
Twelve nations (all from Europe) will participate in a qualifycation process similair to that used in European football. The twelve nations are split into two groups, consisting of six countries each, with the teams occupying first and second in thier respective qualification groups earning the right to partake in the 2012 World Cup of Hockey.
Qualification Groups
GROUP 1: Germany, Slovakia, Italy, Austria, Norway, Czech Republic
GROUP 2: Russia, Belarus, Latvia, Ukraine, Denmark, Switzerland
Hosting Rights
While not yet specified, it seems as though Sweden will host more matches than Finland during the tournament, including the final. Gothenburg, Malmo and Stockholm look to be the Swedish cities to host matches whlst Helsinki and Turku are likely to host all matches in Finland. Gothenburg is set to contracted with the hosting rights of the final. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lingodingo ( talk • contribs) 17:04, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Though the mistake hasn't been made in this article, players who participated in this tournament (including the predessor Canada Cup), have erroneous 'gold/silver/bronze' medals added to their respective bio articles. This medals don't exist in this tournament (just like they don't in the NHL playoffs). GoodDay ( talk) 20:18, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Just curious. Anybody got an image of the '04 WC Trophy. GoodDay ( talk) 20:39, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
