I never agreed with professionals in the Olympics. Its the dream of all amateur athletes BEFORE they turn pro. The issue is its every four years so timing is everything meaning not all amateur hockey players would be able to go. It sucks for sure, but that's life. Now because of a few Olympics with NHL players, those who haven't made it are jealous. Again, this sucks for sure.
I refuse to watch Olympic hockey with professional NHLers. I'll be happy to finally be able to watch pure hockey again. I'll gladly get up at 4 am to watch it now.
For those pissed off about the decision...whats the problem? You are watching them already in the Stanley Cup play offs. Not enough countries can field competitive teams so most of the games are lopsided and BORING to watch. Its no fun watching Belarus get blown away 13-0. At least now there might be more parity and more competition that is evenly based.
The Olympics are part of the journey to becoming a professional if the timing in their life fits. Its sad that NHL players who are already making millions taking a dream away from younger amateur athletes.
NHL hockey players are like Justin Trudeau...ENTITLED. Enjoy the golf season and quit your whining. Half of us don't want you at the Olympics anyway.
