NHL will send its own delegation to Italy next week to check on site how the construction of the main arena for the 2026 Winter Olympics is progressing. 

 

Drama  NHL players banned from playing the tournament in 3, 2, 1...

 

Chance for another bronze still alive then

I think the North American press should stop whining and slandering the Olympic Arena and the Italian Olympics in general 

 

I see also a lot of clickbaiting posts on social media, posting old photos and reporting words such as of Elliotte Friedman in the above article, but it's all fake news

 

the arena is basically ready, there are only some external finishing and the parking lots to be completed

 

the rink size will be 60x26m (exactly like the O2 arena in Prague, where they played the world champs in 2024 -and many other times)

and guess what? all European/International rinks are 60m (197 feet) long 

 

but maybe the Canadian coaches are afraid to make another bad tournament like they did in Turin in 2006 (when they actually had to play on traditional European-size rinks and Chris Pronger couldn't catch even the small Italian players on that ice )
