The National Hockey League may end up banning their players from participating in the 2018 Olympics in South Korea. The big reason is that IOC has chosen not to help pay for things like insurance for players attending the Games. That multi-million dollar shortfall (early estimations have the dollar value at $10 million US) is something the league doesn’t want to cover themselves.
But they’re perfectly fine sinking half a billion dollars into a disaster in the desert, but that’s none of our business.
NHL’s number two man Bill Daly wasn’t very optimistic about the NHL’s chances of being able to play in Pyeongchang two years from now.
