NHL players were mad they haven't played in the olympics Archived Message Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider on February 13, 2025, 10:50:53, in reply to "Is this a one year thing? I'm baffled by the length of it.* " They want more international events. They are playing in the Olympics in 2026 and bringing back the World Cup in 2028 and 2032. This is basically an international teaser instead of the all star game. It's just an extended all star break. They used to take 2 weeks off for the Olympics and will again.
