After an absence from the 2018 Winter Olympics, the NHL is closing in on a deal to return in time for the 2022 Olympics held in Beijing.
The International Olympic Committee and the International Ice Hockey Federation are reportedly more willing to meet the needs of the NHL for them to participate once again, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman.
As just mentioned on Headlines, the IOC and IIHF indicated a willingness this week to address NHL issues to get players to go to 2022 Olympics. This includes insurance costs, travel costs and ability to promote on own platforms (1/x).
