when did nhl players start playing in olympics?
1920
on 3 april 2017, the north american national hockey league (nhl) announced that its players would not be made available for selection for the national teams in the 2018 winter olympics, marking the first time since 1998 that nhl players would be prohibited from participating in the olympic men's ice hockey tournament. while it was "open to hearing from any of the other parties who might have an interest in the issue", the nhl "confirmed that it [had] no interest or intention of engaging in any discussion that might make olympic participation more attractive to the clubs". the main disagreement between the nhl, iihf, and ioc appears to have been over who would cover the cost of indemnifying the nhl players participating in the games. even though the ioc had paid to insure nhl players for the 2014 olympics in sochi, at a cost of $14 million, the commission was unwilling to do so for pyeongchang, due to concerns that this would set a precedent and other professional sports bodies might expect similar treatment.
