The last time the fans were treated to such a respectable goes back to 2016 when the NHL featured the World Cup before the season. The previous time NHLers featured at the Olympics goes back to 2014 when the Canadians triumphed in Sochi.
Will NHLers be in attendance for the 2026 event in Milan? Will there be a World Cup before these? We'll keep you posted.
