Edmonton Hosting One Of Three Part International Series

Imagine a market that gets picked three times, by three different governing bodies, inside a three-year window, and it all feels normal.

That's Edmonton right now.

This week, the Hlinka Gretzky Cup is being hosted at Rogers Place, with Canada opening against Switzerland. It's the next draft class getting watched by the same NHL scouts who'll be watching these same names for years from NHL press boxes. A nice event. Not the whole story.
