Professional athletes in a celebration of amateur sport. It never made sense the last time it was around, it still doesn’t make sense now.

I hope it doesn’t fall through man we deserve this
Canucks-1989
Better late than never! Too bad we didn’t get this a few years back
Pucks_N_Fucks
So only 4 nations will play the next two years? So no Draisaitl or Stuzle. No Russians (fair enough)… No Czechs? Seems a bit weird, not exactly best on best til the Olympics but oh well
Particular_Tutor_46
Why only a four team tournament? What’s the point. Hardly a “World Cup”, more like a look how unpopular hockey is globally tournament…

Holy this is massive news

I hate NHL for fans to wait 12 years to watch national hockey with the best players. World Champions and Olympics should always has the best players
brendan87na

thefunkphenom11
Watch them pull them out of it again…

Best hockey news I’ve heard in years. Now I’m already excited for the next winter games!
attacksnoot
I hate the IOC and Fifa
Bright_Beat_5981
I believe it when I see it. As in when they drop the puck in the first game.
IllustriousSearch838
Damn, Sad Crosby won’t make the cut cuz of how much faster and better the younger Canadian players are
MattTant31
Very cool
Ok_Artichoke_2804
FINALLY! Olympics hockey going go be epic again. But wait, who is going to be goalie for Canada? If fleury is still healthy & good, maybe him? Otherwise, I can think of any goalie in nhl that’s Canadian… that’s good to play Olympics at least… darn it . (Luongo & price, come out of retirement– jk)

No way dreams really do come true

Will Crosby make the team if he regresses before then? I want to believe he has a guaranteed spot. But with his age a drop off could happen around then.

I feel lucky that the top pairing on my team will likely be the top pairing on Team Canada
ambassador321
FK yeah!!
This is gonna be one sick Olympics.
Unstep-in-Time
Stupid. Bring back the college kids.. Return of Mike Eruzione and Neal Broten.

Jack-attack79
Good decision

My best ever hockey memory was watching the gold medal game at the bar with my buddies, just old enough to legally drink and it was fairly empty. The waitress brought over a giant tray of shots for us to grab when the game started and another after the game ended all from the owner. When Sid scored that goal we all jumped out of the booth and we nearly knocked the table over. Good fuckin times

Personally, I’m just not a fan of Olympic hockey. Mostly because it’s not really a deep field. There’s maybe 5-7 competitive teams… I don’t find that interesting. To each their own, but it’s too shallow to be interesting.
Constant-Squirrel555
Fuck the NHL, denied us from prime McDavid with Sid, and a breakout out MacKinnon during the last Olympics.
Canada will be favourites best on best. Canada has the best forward and defense groups in the world. The only area Canada is not dominant is in net. Id say the USA and Russia easily outperform Canada in net. Thing is in the last Olympics, Canada didn’t really need more than average goaltending to win Gold. They smothered the opposition and scored enough to win. Will happen again.

About time
broke-collegekid
Hell yes!

Fuck. Scott Neidermayer was an amazing player.

The way it should. Fuck covid and the NHL for depriving us of this for too long.

The league is losing popularity. They need this.
This is sick
Canadians will be in prison so I’m not worried
Mcdavid, Mackinnon, Crosby, Bedard, Makar, Marner.
Will suck without Russia in it..
