Plan in place for 2010 Olympic hockey
It still requires the seal of approval from the International Ice Hockey Federation council and congress but the tentative plan is in place for the men's hockey event at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.
Following recent meetings in Vancouver between the IIHF, the NHL and the NHL Players' Association, the format and details of the tourney were tentatively agreed upon. Sources tell TSN, if approved by the IIHF, the Olympic tourney will look as follows:
- The tourney will be played over a 13-day period from Tuesday Feb. 16 to Sunday Feb. 28. NHL regular season games will be played on Saturday Feb. 13 and Sunday Feb. 14 with players traveling to Vancouver on either the Sunday or the Monday before the tourney begins.
- All but two of the 30 games will be played at GM Place.
