Sidney Crosby isn't giving up hope on one day playing at another best-on-best international tournament.
The NHL skipped the 2018 Olympics for financial reasons before backing out of the 2022 Games because of COVID-19 concerns.
The NHL has committed to going to Italy in 2026, but agreements still have to be hashed out with the International Olympic Committee, International Ice Hockey Federation and local organizers. "We each re-expressed our desires to work together on a variety of fronts," Bettman said. "It's important to the players and they'd like to play in the Olympics."
With the league set to head to Toronto next year, some of the game's best offered their thoughts on how things can be improved. "I'd just like to see more,” he said. "I know in terms of broadcasts on TV it's tough to fit into the schedule, but I think a couple more events can be added.""There's so many different things that they can do," he said. "They're trying to ultimately make it as entertaining for the fans as possible.
"Hopefully the future is really bright for the sport to combine," she said. "We hope there are more opportunities."Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery credited his predecessor with helping him settle into his new job.
