New NHL Players' Association executive director Marty Walsh said he's focused on getting NHL players back into the Winter Olympics for the 2026 Milano Cortina Games in Italy."My focus is to try and make that happen. I'm working with commissioner Gary Bettman, collectively together with the IIHF, and hopefully we'll be able to come up with an agreement and move forward," Walsh told ESPN on Tuesday.
Despite that agreement, the NHL opted out again from the 2022 Games in Beijing, citing"a profound disruption to the regular-season schedule caused by recent COVID-related events." "We just want to work that out. They can play in the Olympics in 2026. That's something that's really important to a lot of players," he said.
There were plans to hold the World Cup in February 2024. But the NHL and NHLPA said in a joint statement that Russia's invasion of Ukraine made"the current environment not feasible" to stage the event at that time.
