The Montreal Canadiens are on the sidelines right now waiting for the NHL and the NHLPA to formalize a plan for the sport’s return to play. While rumours and tidbits continue to trickle out, we get an idea of what their plan is to bring hockey back, but nothing will be official until they sign an agreement.
One of the intriguing rumours that has been widely speculated in the past few days has been a potential return to the Olympic Games for NHL players. We first saw the world’s best hockey players at the Winter Olympics in 1998, but 20 years later, the league and its players couldn’t come to an agreement so the 2018 Games were played without NHLers.
