## Resource

The 2028 World Cup of Hockey is set for North America—with games in Calgary, Edmonton, and Prague—and features just eight teams, including Canada, Czechia, USA, Sweden, and Finland. Russia’s return remains uncertain due to their IIHF suspension, opening spots for Switzerland, Germany, and Slovakia. Calgary Flames players like veteran Mikael Backlund (39) could suit up for Sweden, while young goalie Dustin Wolf is a strong backup candidate for Team USA. Slovakia’s Simon Nemec, Martin Pospisil, and Sam Honzek may also represent their nation if selected. With rosters still to be finalized, fans are buzzing about which Flames stars might shine on the global stage. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
