Why is the World Championship in ice hockey not seen as important in North America as it is in Europe?

Ice hockey is a popular sport in both North America and Europe, but the World Championship is not seen as important in North America as it is in Europe. There are several reasons for this.

First, the National Hockey League (NHL) is the most popular ice hockey league in the world, and it is based in North America. The NHL regular season and playoffs run from October to June, which means that the World Championship is played during the NHL offseason. As a result, many of the best North American players are not available to play in the World Championship.

Second, the World Championship is not as well-promoted in North America as it is in Europe. In Europe, ice hockey is a major sport, and the World Championship is one of the most prestigious events on the calendar. In North America, ice hockey is not as popular as other sports, such as football and basketball, and the World Championship is not as well-known.

Finally, the World Championship is not as competitive in North America as it is in Europe. In Europe, there are several strong ice hockey nations, such as Russia, Sweden, Finland, and the Czech Republic. In North America, there are only two major ice hockey nations, Canada and the United States. As a result, the World Championship is often seen as a two-horse race between Canada and the United States.
