Hey everyone,

With the World Hockey Championship going on, I’m opening up a short window for discounted video breakdowns through IceIQ.

I work with players on game film to help them improve things like:

hockey IQ and reads

positioning

decision-making under pressure

puck management and overall habits

I put together a short form for any players who want a breakdown of their game during this stretch. You can submit a clip or just apply and I’ll follow up with next steps.

It’s available until May 21st while Worlds is on.

If you want to apply, here’s the form:

The IIHF Men's World Hockey Championship (Worlds 2026) starts May 15! If you're in the United States like me, we unfortunately can't simply watch live from the IIHF website (1st image above). (If you're in another country, check the full list to see if some games will be available for you. Make sure you get the game pass for the group of countries you want to watch, either Group A or Group B!)

The games are on the NHL Network. The front page has the full schedule of the games they will air (scroll down).

To find where you can watch the NHL Network, click the Find My NHLN Channel button. If you don't already have a TV provider, enter your zip code and select YouTube TV, which does not carry it. Then it will show you a list of all your options (2nd image.)

Your exact list might vary depending on your location in the USA. You can then compare prices. Make sure you search for the NHL Network channel since it is usually not included with the basic option.

Sling TV looked like the cheapest option for me: $19 base plan + $11 for Sports Extra = $30 (3rd image). To find the Sports Extra option, I had to scroll down to "We have your favorite channels" and select "Show all channels" - it didn't show up in their set plans. It comes with NHL Network and NHL Alternate, which seemed safest in case they kick any of the games off the main channel in favor of playoff coverage. I can also watch it from an app on my TV.

The games end on March 31, so you only need a subscription for the next 2 weeks.

See my fellow West Coasters at 7:20 AM tomorrow for puck drop!
