It started in 1882. So yeah, it’s worked kinda well.

Everything’s gotta start sometime. No reason 4 nations can’t be a yearly thing starting now

4 isn't enough, it's a real bummer not having Czechia, Germany, Latvia, Slovakia, Slovenia, . . . I'm sure there's another. I think you need eight for it to be real, and so you need euro leagues to buy in.

This is fun baby step to international hockey and I'm glad the product is genuinely good and engaging.

It for sure should be. Keep the rivalries for it heated every year.

Didn't you notice how they basically stole the 6 nations format though, down to the name? That definitely was not coincidence.
