After an absence since 2014, the National Hockey League (NHL) has announced its decision to send players to the Winter Olympics in both 2026 and 2030.
This marks a significant comeback for the league, bringing its top-tier athletes back to the global sporting event after a prolonged hiatus.
The NHL skipped the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang to avoid disrupting the ongoing season. In 2022, they didn't participate in Beijing due to Covid-19 worries.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman mentioned, 'NHL players take great pride in representing their countries.
The 2026 Winter Games are set to take place in Italy from February 6 to 22, 2026. As for the 2030 Winter Olympics, the host is yet to be announced, with the decision expected later this year.
