by from on (#2J227)
A veteran of Olympic hockey competition isn't happy the NHL declined to take part in the 2018 Games.
Henrik Lundqvist tweeted his thoughts on the matter shortly after the league announced it would not be sending its players to South Korea.
Disappointing news, @NHL won't be part of the Olympics 2018. A huge opportunity to market the game at the biggest stage is wasted..

But most of all, disappointing for all the players that can't be part of the most special adventure in sports..

Lundqvist has won a pair of medals representing Sweden on the Olympic stage, capturing gold at the 2006 Games in Turin and earning silver in Sochi back in 2014.
