NHL players will compete in the Milan-Cortina Olympics in 2026 and the 2030 Winter Games after missing the previous two editions of the multi-sport event, Sportsnet can confirm.

Really pleased to see this. The lack of a true international best-on-best is holding hockey back in my opinion. And the NHL might not get exactly what they want out of it, but I truly thing it’s good for the sport in general.

    This is great news!! A world stage for the NHLs best players can only help the NHL. I have non-hockey fan friends that will bring up US losing to Canada with Crosby’s goal and even Oshies crazy shootout game

    Wasted Sid’s best years, but hopefully McDavid can carry the torch for Canada.
