I dont know the other teams as well but for Canada its a B or C team yet still good hockey. I wouldn't call it a tournament for losers but its not best on best so in my mind not the
"world championship"

Olympics is just once per 4 years. It's not just tournament of teams which didn't make it to playoffs, it's tournament of best available players which maybe won SC last year and maybe will win again next year. Plus best players of other leagues like KHL and European leagues. I think biggest problem is time zone different than US/Canada so it does not have tradition there.
