NHL, players officially agree to withdraw from Beijing Olympics
After the league and the Winter Games Association were excluded from the games on Tuesday, NHL players will not participate in the Olympic Games in Beijing in February 2022, according to The Athletic and ESPN. No official announcement has yet been made.
The NHL had until the 10th. January to withdraw from the games without facing financial penalties.
Several factors have been involved in this issue. First, players were cautious when they were given to Beijing COVID and then faced quarantine that could take more than a month if officials considered them to be a public health hazard. Key names like Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews - two of the best in this sport who have not yet played at the Olympic Games - were at the forefront of their concerns.
"I'd love to go and compete," said Mr. Matthews. "But there are certainly some things that many of us would like to see worked out.
"It's disturbing if that were the case," McDavid said about the long quarantine that could be extended.
In addition to the risk of missing a long series of games across the country and the paychecks that go with them, the NHL announced on Monday that it will be taking a long break to try to stem its recent outbreak of CVID.
Instead of trying to extend the season to summer and shorten the next season, the most likely scenario would be to use the initial three-week break scheduled for the Olympics to gain ground and play these games.
NHL players have not qualified on the Olympic stage since 2014 in Sochi after the league left the 2018 Pyeongchang Games for various financial and operational reasons. Many current league stars weren't even recruited at that time, or are moving slowly to the NHL roster. The last time we saw a semblance of a better tournament was at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.

Long-time Atlanta Falcons defensive end and Hall of Famer Claude Humphrey died Friday night, the Hall of Fame announced Saturday.
He was 77 years old.
"The whole family of the Pro Football Hall of Fame mourns the death of Claude Humphrey," said Jim Porter, president of the Hall of Fame. Known as a hard worker and a reliable partner, Humphrey was always willing to help the team where it needed it and knew that success was achieved collectively. His humble spirit guided him both in and out of the field. Our thoughts and prayers are with Claude's family at this difficult time. The Hall of Fame will forever retain its legacy.
Humphrey was one of the feared pass-through drivers of his generation and played 13 seasons in the NFL - 10 with the Falcons and three with the Philadelphia Eagles.
He was admitted to the pro-football hall of fame in 2014 as part of the senior election, after being the finalist in the regular elections in 2003 and 2006.

This selection paid immediate dividends for the Falcons, as Humphrey was appointed the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year and was appointed Pro Bowler six times and a five-fold selection of the first All-Pro team.
The Sacks did not become an official state until 1982, when Humphrey withdrew. Humphrey, however, officially had 130 bags in his career, which would put him on the 24th-largest NFL list of all time.
Informally, he had 11.5 bags like a novice and would have recorded nine double-digit seasons in his career if he had been an official state. 배트맨토토
It included a career high of 15.5 with the Eagles in 1980, the second season of his career.
Humphrey has never won a championship in the NFL, but he helped the Eagles reach the Super Bowl XV at the end of the season.In the 1980s, the team lost 27-10 to the Oakland Raiders.
Of all the players who started their careers in the 1970s or before, Humphrey has an air bag.He's the eighth-largest player in NFL history, making him one of the top passers-by in the pre-mileage era.
