Hockey Champions League: YES!
This is an awesome idea:
It would stand to reason that the European Champions League could be on par with the NHL. And if this idea goes through, it could mimic soccer's world club championship:
The International Ice Hockey Federation is proposing a Champions League format which would pit the top club teams in Europe against each other in a tournament similar to soccer's Champions League.I'm not sure how many of you out there watch Champions League soccer---but imagine a league filled with Cup champions playing off against each other. The UEFA champions league is the best soccer out there. I believe it's better than the national-team-based World Cup, the European Championship (also national teams), and is almost always better than the Copa Libertadores, the South American equivalent club championship.
It would stand to reason that the European Champions League could be on par with the NHL. And if this idea goes through, it could mimic soccer's world club championship:
Fasel added that the IIHF has had preliminary discussions with the NHL which would see the Champions Hockey League winner take on an NHL team - not necessarily the Stanley Cup champion - for a world trophy in September.I guess the South American, African, and Asian hockey champions are, uh, not invited?
