Gary Bettman was on the Pat McAfee show today and revealed some massive news regarding the NHL in the Olympics. <h2>Bettman Comments on The NHL Players Returning to The Olympics</h2> While being on the talk show they discussed the NHL being in the Olympics. Bettman has confirmed two major things during his segment. The first thing was, the NHL players wanted to be back in the Olympics after being away from it for years. The second is the NHL continues to make no money by letting their players go to the Olympics. <q>Gary Bettman on The Pat McAfee Show talking Olympics: «We do want to go because first and foremost it is important to the players, listen we don't make any money by going to the Olympics and that's not the be all and end all»</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHL_Watcher/status/1719761747530129509?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1719761747530129509%7Ctwgr%5Ef30459d3c33f524163812d0dd6a760b83ceaff31%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.markerzone.com%2Fnews%2FBREAKING20Bettman20Confirms20Major20Olympics20Rumor'> </a></blockquote></div> <q>If we can make it happen with the IOC and the appropriate arrangements are made, we are going to go</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHL_Watcher/status/1719761750801731663?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1719761750801731663%7Ctwgr%5Ef30459d3c33f524163812d0dd6a760b83ceaff31%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.markerzone.com%2Fnews%2FBREAKING20Bettman20Confirms20Major20Olympics20Rumor'> </a></blockquote></div> The players clearly want to go and represent their country as for many playing for their home country, means more than winning a Stanley Cup as weird as that may sound. <h2>The History of The NHL and the Olympics</h2> The NHL has not been in the Olympics since 2014 in Sochi where TJ Oshie became a hero for Team USA. Many players have spoken on their love of playing for their country, countless memories have been made for these players. Whether its Oshie dominating in the shootout to Crosby's Golden Goal. For the fans it was always special seeing the best hockey players on the planet team up and face off against each other. Watching the likes of Shea Weber, Johnathan Toews, Sidney Crosby all team up and play together is things they miss watching. The magic rivalry between USA and Canada, watching the two powerhouse nations go toe-to-toe will once again happen for the first time in almost a decade.
