Hockey is not on summer vacation even after the Colorado Avalanche dethroned the Tampa Bay Lightning to win the Stanley Cup. The new 3ICE 3-on-3 league debuted in mid-June with Hall of Famers Bryan Trottier, Grant Fuhr, Joe Mullen and Larry Murphy among the coaches. The International Ice Hockey Federation and IOC have discussed the possibility of bringing 3-on-3 to the Olympics for another medal event. That happened with basketball at the Tokyo Games. Leaders at 3ICE are focused on getting the league off the ground.
