THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan Denette\The Edmonton Oilers had given everything they could in a hard-fought Stanley Cup final against the Florida Panthers .
The team from Alberta’s capital went on a magical run led by their record-setting captain before falling just short in Game 7 after falling behind 3-0.Earlier in the year, the NHL unveiled its aim to return to the Olympics in 2026 and 2030. The league went to five straight Games from 1998 through 2014, but skipped the 2018 event for financial reasons before plans for 2022 were squashed by COVID-19 concerns. The NHL also announced at the 2024 all-star game it would be hosting its own international tournament in 2025 — the 4 Nations Face-Off involving Canada, the United States, Sweden and Finland — with an eye toward a World Cup being held every four years beginning in 2028 to establish a set international calendar. Czechia, which was left out of the 4 Nations, went onto win the world championships in the spring, while Russia remains frozen out because of its ongoing war in Ukraine. The other big news from 2024 was the Arizona Coyotes abruptly moving to Utah after all avenues were exhausted in the Phoenix area. With that look-back complete, The Canadian Press turns its attention to men’s hockey storylines to watch for in 2025.McDavid, Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar are set to suit up for Canada together for the first time at the event set to run Feb. 12-20 in Montreal and Boston. Auston Matthews, Jack Eichel, Quinn and Jack Hughes, and Brady and Matthew Tkachuk are poised to represent the U.S. The event is the closest thing hockey will have seen to best-on-best since the 2016 World Cup after the NHL’s last Olympic endeavour in 201
