This is a devastating blow to the game of hockey and many Columbus Blue Jackets players. Americans like hockey, and Americans LOVE America. The Olympics is an incredible opportunity to bring those two loves together. Hockey The NHL has a golden opportunity right now to break out and put players such as Zach Werenski, Alexander Wennberg, and Sergei Bobrovsky on the biggest platform and they’re going to pass on it.
I used to think that the NHL was just unlucky. They were trying to break into a sports market already saturated by iconic American sports like baseball, football, and basketball.
