Korean border. pg 2 2018 WINTER OLYMPICS VIEWER’S GUIDE COURTESY OF GRACENOTE ICEHOCKEY The headline-making story for Olympic Hockey at the PyeongChang Olympics is the fact that the NHL will not send players to these games. This is the result of number of issues, primarily the failure of the IOC and NHL to agree on a number of items. Thus, the men’s hockey team, headed by Wisconsin Badgers hockey coach Tony Granato, consists of former NHL journeymen, college players as well as players active in European leagues, including, at the moment, Russia’s KHL. 2006 Team USA veteran Brian Gionta will serve as Team USA captain. Without the NHL players, the men’s hockey tournament sure will prove interesting. Although Russia is banned from the Olympics, certain athletes will be allowed to play. With the KHL featuring a number of top Russian players, and apparently not standing in the way, this makes the “Olympic Athletes from Russia,” as they are being called, the likely favorite. The women’s hockey tournament is sure to be exciting with the Team USA / Team Canada rivalry as intense as ever. The Canadians, who have won the last four gold medals, beating the U.S. for three of them, defeated the Americans again 3-1 in a pre-Olympic tune-up back in December. Two-time silver medalist Hilary Knight leads Team USA.
