After Wednesday's announcement of the NHL's withdrawal from the 2022 Winter Olympics, Oilers captain Connor McDavid shared his thoughts on the decision.
“The whole thing is so disappointing,” McDavid told reporters on Sunday, per The Athletic. “It's hard to really put into words what I think a lot of guys are feeling, especially the guys that haven't gotten to go before. Now, we're missing it for the second time in a row. We can't dwell on it.”
The NHL announced that it could not participate in the Olympics because it has been forced to reschedule dozens of games due to COVID-19.
