I wouldn't personally say the WCH is any more prestigious than the Olympics or vice versa.
Any hockey that involves the Canadian National team is exciting.
Maybe none more than the 1972 Summit Series between Canada and Russia.
This is a pretty good site for that: http://www.chidlovski.com/personal/1972/content.htm
Here's some history of the WCH too:

I think I am getting from that, that historically Canada and Russia have been dominant in world tournaments with Canada on top until the first WHC was held in 1996 which the USA won?
And this is the second time the WHC has been held?
LOL... that sounds like a recipe for some intense Canadian interest if I got it right!
