“Obviously, very special,” Meier added. “You know, looking at my career, this is the first time in my stretch of playing in the NHL that we can play in it. Growing up, watching sports, the Olympics were always something really special. Having the chance to go and represent my country, I think it is a great opportunity that I am going to really enjoy. It is even more special that it is close to home. I am going to have lots of friends and family there, which will make it even more special.”
