International Ice Hockey Federation president Luc Tardif says he is optimistic NHL players will participate in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina.
The NHL has not participated in the Olympics since 2014 in Sochi, ending a run of five appearances in a row dating to 1998 in Nagano. Players did not take part in 2018 because of disagreements over the costs of insurance and travel.The league and players union have also discussed reviving the World Cup of Hockey in 2024.
Tardif also said the men’s world junior championship and women’s under-18 tournament will happen this summer after being canceled in December because of the pandemic. Tardif said world juniors will take place in August in Canada and the women’s under-18 in June in the United States.
