The 2016 World Cup of Hockey (WCH2016) was an international ice hockey tournament. It was the third installment of the National Hockey League (NHL)-sanctioned competition, 12 years after the second World Cup of Hockey in 2004. It began on September 17 and ended on September 29.
The teams were officially announced on September 10, 2015 by the International Ice Hockey Federation. The teams are:
The national anthem for each team playing was played before the start of each game. However, there are two exceptions: no anthem was played for Team Europe because of the team's multiple national representatives, while both "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "O Canada" were played before games Team North America played.
Each team's roster was limited to twenty skaters (forwards and defencemen) and three goaltenders. All eight participating teams submitted their initial roster of sixteen players on March 2, 2016.
Each one of the national teams' players wore a customized jersey manufactured by Adidas.
