This week, hockey players will be heading to PyeongChang, South Korea as the 2018 Winter Olympics begin. The rosters host a few familiar names among them, but none with quite the level of notoriety as Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews, Alex Ovechkin, or Sidney Crosby. This year, many of the men’s ice hockey national teams find themselves in a Miracle on Ice scenario without any of their biggest stars.
While the NHL sits at home as the largest ice hockey tournament goes on without them, they will be celebrating Hockey is for Everyone Month, an initiative to support inclusion in all of its forms in the sport.
