2022 Winter Olympics - Beijing
Rumour has it that NHL players will be allowed to play in the 2022 and 2026 Olympic tournaments!
The score has taken a look at what some of the troops may look like.
Canada ...
USA Boeser, JT Miller, Quinn
Sweden Marx, Petey
Can’t wait!

I thought Miller sucked? At least HF keeps saying that.

It would be awesome to see a best on best tournament again. Canada has the best forwards by a mile,but the US has a better D and so might Sweden. Finland will also ice a competitive squad and so will the Russians.

There's a handful of talented Swiss players as well... Josi, Fiala, Meier, Hischier, Niederreiter... Sbisa... and they always have good goaltending.Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Mon Dec 07, 2020 6:42 pm It would be awesome to see a best on best tournament again.

Miller probably gets moved to #3C at this rate on Team USA, kicking Larkin out.
Boeser, Hughes, yes, Demko is playing his way onto the team now: Hellebuyck, Demko, Gibson trio.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Re: 2022 Winter Olympics - Beijing
There are some good teams in this. But if Canada doesn’t win with McDavid, Mackinnon, ROR, Crosby, Couturier, Makar etc it will be a major choke job. Goaltending could be our only weakness.

IIHF upping the stakes, gonna buy insurance w/covid coverage for NHL players for the Olympics.
So NHL players to the Olympics is a go it appears.
The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) has acquired insurance for the players of the National Hockey League (NHL). Now athletes will be able to take part in qualifications for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
The IIHF has agreed to pay for insurance immediately for all athletes who have an agreement with the NHL. Moreover, the organization will pay for insurance in case of infection with coronavirus. But this applies only to those hockey players who have signed contracts with clubs for at least two years
However, the NHL and the League Players Association still reserve the right to withdraw from the 2022 Games if doing so creates the potential for health and safety risks.

Assuming Crosby captain, McDavid, Pietrangelo alternates.
Sidney Crosby, Connor McDavid and Alex Pietrangelo are the first names submitted by Hockey Canada to be part of the men's hockey team for the 2022 Beijing Olympics, according to general manager Doug Armstrong.
