Men’s hockey is one of the final events to wrap up at the 2026 Olympics<\/a>, and the product on the ice has been dazzling with NHL players back in the Games. <\/p>\n

Canada and Team USA, both of which were made up fully of NHL players, reached the gold medal game in this year’s Olympics, facing off with the biggest prize on the line for the third time in the NHL era. <\/p>\n

The NHL opted to jump back into the Olympics in 2026 after skipping the 2018 and 2022 events, with amateur players competing in those Games. <\/p>\n

Overall, the NHL<\/a> has paused its season for the Olympics five times from 1998 through 2014, and most of the players now in the league grew up expecting to play on that stage. Disagreements over who would pay for insurance and travel costs, along with the time difference between South Korea and North America, were cited as factors in the NHL passing on Pyeongchang in 2018.<\/p>\n

After that, pandemic-related scheduling issues caused an eleventh-hour change of plans in 2022.<\/p>\n

As recently as this past fall, U.S. defenseman Charlie McAvoy said he was still upset about not being able to play in the 2022 Olympics.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat one took a while to get over,\u201d McAvoy said. \u201cYou\u2019re picking sizes for your Ralph Lauren outfit to walk around in the opening ceremonies. That stuff got real. It got really real. And you internalize it. It works as motivation. You want to be a part of that, and then you just lose it in a matter of seconds.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTeam USA\u2019s men\u2019s hockey team shared how good they\u2019re feeling after their semifinal victory over Slovakia, while expressing gratitude for the overwhelming support they\u2019ve received from fans back home.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
