At the 2026 Winter Olympics, all top NHL stars are anticipated to compete, but Russia’s participation remains uncertain.
NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly shared with The Athletic that planning for the event is still in its early stages due to the evolving situation. Much will hinge on the international community’s stance on Russia’s involvement in the games.
Quote: “Many assume that a decision has been made unless significant changes occur. Russian teams were barred from the 2024 Olympics, differing from previous models. Therefore, I expect this rule to remain in place,” stated the NHL commissioner.
Reminder: The new NHL season is just around the corner, starting on October 4 and running through April 17. We’ve compiled key dates for the upcoming season.
