The groups have been announced for next year.

Those groups do not seem well balanced.

With next year being an Olympic year, I don't foresee many players going to this.

I’m going to try and head over. Would like to see GB v US of course, but tickets will be very expensive I think.

I wouldn't buy anything in advance. They'll be giving the tix away closer to the event.

In the 2016 World Cup of Hockey, ticket prices were pretty jacked up. Undaunted, my friend dropped close to $1000 to take his family of 5 to a Canada game as soon as they were released. He was "lucky" to get those seats, as speculators grabbed the lion's share of them all.

Anyhow, as the event went on, it became clear that the speculators overplayed their hand. For the final round robin game, I scooped two seats for $25 each.

Long story short, with few if any NHL stars playing, you should easily be able to grab seats at a major discount closer to the actual game.
