During the interview, Bettman confirmed two crucial points regarding the NHL's relationship with the Olympics.
Firstly, he emphasized that the NHL's decision to participate in the Olympics was primarily driven by the players' strong desire to be a part of the event. Secondly, Bettman reiterated that the NHL does not generate any financial gains from allowing its players to participate in the Olympics.
This revelation underscores that if NHL players do indeed return to the Olympics, it will be a gesture by the league to accommodate the wishes of players and fans. It also confirms that the NHL's involvement in the Olympics is not motivated by financial gain.
Updates will follow.
