Flyers fans and all hockey fans should be thrilled to know that NHL talent is expected to return to Olympic hockey this time next year in Beijing, China for the 2022 Winter Olympics Games.
Olympic hockey is an international showcase unique to the sport. It has provided American viewers with legendary moments like the Miracle on Ice and the Sochi shootout win over the Russians.
It provided Flyers fans with an all-too-familiar heartbreak in 2010 when Sidney Crosby scored the overtime winner for Team Canada in one of the greatest hockey games ever played.
