KAZAN, January 15, Vadim Kuznetsov. National Hockey League (NHL) leadership thought about profits, not about the health of the players, when it decided not to participate in the 2022 Olympics, Mark Barberio, a hockey player from Kazan Ak Bars, said in an interview. coronavirus and matches postponed because of this. «I don’t think the NHL thought first of all about the health of hockey players when making a decision on the Olympics. The main reason for this decision of the league is money. They can’t take risks so as not to lose another 82-match championship, as this will lead to large financial losses. We see what is happening now in the league. It was logical to expect such a decision from the NHL,» Barberio said. I think they should be given permission play in Beijing, but you can understand the league. Now everything is confusing. Not only in hockey, but in the rest of the world. Everyone is trying to survive in the situation that has developed in connection with the coronavirus,» the Ak Bars player said.
