Rangers in favor of NHL participating in 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics

Pyeongchang calling?

Some Rangers would like to answer.

With a deadline looming for the NHL to decide whether to participate in the 2018 Winter Olympics in the Republic of Korea and the league’s Board of Governors meeting next week to discuss the options, several Rangers who are former Olympians said they hope there’s a path to East Asia.

The issue: The NHLPA has voted to reject an offer by the league which would have extended the current collective bargaining agreement by three years in exchange for its decision to participate in the games, to be held in February 2018 and will be televised by NBC.
