Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander is in Milan, as part of the NHL and NHLPA’s European media tour , which is being held in Italy for the first time. This event is a result of a strategic partnership formed earlier this year between the NHL, NHLPA, and top-flight Italian soccer league Serie A. The collaboration is seen as a way for both leagues to showcase themselves, particularly with the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan on the horizon. It’s a big deal for the NHL, as it’s the first time since the 2014 Sochi Olympics that its players will be participating in the Games.
