Thus, the NHL announced the final decision on the matter. The League refers to the increased number of cases of infection of athletes with coronavirus and announced that hockey players will not participate in the Games in Beijing.
On December 21, journalist Frank Seravalli announced that the NHL, together with the players’ union, intend not to let hockey players join the national teams for the 2022 Olympics. According to the journalist, this decision may lead to the postponement of the Games themselves to 2023.

League commissioner Bill Daley admitted the ban back in October. Then he also referred to the problem of the coronavirus.
