HFBoards - View Single Post - 2014 Olympics and the NHL (UPD: NHL, NHLPA, IIHF, IOC meeting this week)

They showed on Hockey Night in Canada during the Hotstove segment, that the 2010 Olympic men's tournament had almost 65 million in ticket revenue. And the gold medal game had 8.5 million in ticket revenue.

The NHL and NHLPA want some financial compensation, more access and an international schedule to be worked out with the IIHF. Might be more than a yes or no answer to Olympic participation. Is it worth participating and committing to several olympics?
