NEW YORK: The National Hockey League is"nowhere near a resolution" on whether or not players will compete in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics but the league is looking at pre-season games in China next year, deputy commissioner Bill Daly said.
Daly said the NHL hopes to announce 2020 pre-season fixtures soon after not sending clubs to China this year following China pre-season contests in 2017 and 2018. Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin, the Russian superstar who led the NHL in goals for the eighth time last season, visited China this month as an NHL ambassador to promote the sport."I don't see us playing regular-season games next year in China, but we'll continue with bringing teams over there and playing pre-season games for a while and look for strategic ways to continue to grow hockey's presence in China," Daly said.
Daly said early talks with the players union have been positive as each sides faces a decision next month about triggering an early termination of a 10-year collective bargaining agreement signed in 2013.
