NHL players lambasted the league fodecision to sit out of the 2018 Olympics - chairman - 04-08-2017
The NHL announced on Monday that it will not be sending players to the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
In a statement, the league argued that the three-week break for the games would not be a worthwhile interruption, a nod to the money that would be lost during the break.
While US Hockey and Canada Hockey still plan to field teams to send to the games, NHL players were not happy with the decision.
New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist called the news "disappointing," saying the league is missing an opportunity to market the game abroad.
