===National anthems===
The [[national anthem]] for each team playing was played before the start of each game. However, there were 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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/world-cup-of-hockey/world-cup-hockey-need-know-tournament-rules/|title=World Cup of Hockey Need-to-Know: Tournament rules - Sportsnet.ca}}</ref> Team Europe players wore badges with their respective nations' flags on their jerseys.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/19/sports/hockey/with-no-flag-team-europes-players-rally-around-themselves-at-world-cup-of-hockey.html|title=With No Flag, Team Europe's Players Rally Around Themselves at World Cup of Hockey|author=Matt Higgins|work=[[The New York Times]]|date=September 18, 2016|access-date=January 3, 2021}}</ref>

==Broadcasting==
In Canada, [[Rogers Communications]] held broadcast rights to the tournament; the tournament was aired by [[NHL on Sportsnet|Sportsnet]] in English and [[TVA Sports]] in French. Similarly to its sub-licensing agreement for ''[[Hockey Night in Canada]]'', the semi-finals and finals were simulcast by [[CBC Television]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Sportsnet announces World Cup of Hockey broadcast schedule|url=http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/world-cup-of-hockey/sportsnet-announces-world-cup-hockey-broadcast-schedule/|website=Sportsnet.ca|access-date=24 September 2016}}</ref><ref name="cbc-wcoh">{{cite web|title=World Cup of Hockey: Watch semis and final on CBC Sports|url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/world-cup-hockey-semifinals-cbc-sports-app-1.3773270|website=CBC Sports|access-date=24 September 2016}}</ref> Although it was initially reported that Rogers was allowed to match competing bids for the rights (such as by [[Bell Media]] and [[ESPN]]'s [[TSN Hockey|TSN]]) per its holding of exclusive national media rights to the NHL in Canada, NHL Commissioner [[Gary Bettman]] denied that there was such a rule, and that the bidding process was "competitive".<ref name="yahoo-wcohrights"/>

In the United States, the tournament was broadcast by [[ESPN]] and [[ESPN Deportes]] in English and Spanish, respectively; [[NBC Sports]], the national rightsholder of the NHL in the United States, passed on the tournament due to scheduling conflicts with various events being broadcast by its networks in that period of time.<ref name="yahoo-wcohrights">{{cite web|title=Why NHL chose ESPN, Sportsnet for World Cup of Hockey|url=https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/why-nhl-chose-espn--sportsnet-for-world-cup-of-hockey-171635192.html|website=Yahoo!

The broadcasts incorporated the use of technology by British firm Supponor to allow for the [[digitally enhanced dasherboard|digital replacement of advertising on the rink boards]] on selected camera shots. These allowed a single advertiser at a time to brand the entire board, localization of advertising in different media markets, and other customized graphics to be substituted onto the boards. Advertisements are replaced when cameras shots are switched to minimize distractions.<ref name="gandm-wcohads">{{cite news|title=NHL hopes to score with virtual advertisements on rink boards|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/industry-news/marketing/nhl-hopes-to-score-with-virtual-advertisements-on-rink-boards/article31974638/|website=[[The Globe and Mail]]|date=September 20, 2016 |access-date=24 September 2016}}</ref>
