Olympics-NHL agrees to release players for Winter Olympics

(Reuters) – The National Hockey League (NHL) has agreed to allow a break in the 2021-22 NHL regular season that will allow the world’s top players to take part in next year’s Winter Olympics in Beijing, the NHL and NHL Players Association (NHLPA) said on Friday.

NHL players missed the last edition of the Winter Games in South Korea in 2018 after the league failed to negotiate a regular season break with the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF).

The agreement to release players for Beijing came after months of negotiations, the NHL said, adding that the agreement allowed for the possibility of withdrawal in the event that evolving COVID-19 conditions were deemed unsafe or impractical.

“I know that I can speak for hockey fans around the world when I say that we absolutely welcome the decision to bring back best-on-best ice hockey to the Olympics,” IHF President Rene Fasel said in a statement https://ift.tt/3kXTIka.

“We had many constructive discussions, and a lot of hard work was put into making this happen within the time we set out for ourselves, and I want to thank all parties involved for their support and commitment.”

The Beijing Games will mark the sixth Winter Olympics that NHL players will be included in the men’s hockey tournament.

“We understand how passionately NHL players feel about representing and competing for their countries,” NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said.

“We are very pleased that we were able to conclude arrangements that will allow them to resume best-on-best competition on the Olympic stage.”

The Russian Olympic Committee team are the reigning Olympic champions having won gold at the 2018 Games with a 4-3 victory over Germany in the final.
