2026 Winter Olympics

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

With Bettman et al agreeing to 2026 (and 2030) Winter Olympic participation, wheels surrounding other things starting to happen. Here specifically are discussions for Canadian management; sounds like there will be executive director responsible for all international teams, and individual GMs for each.

And IIHF meeting soon to discuss Russian participation in 2025 international events, but wind not blowing to see their participation. Decision expected in March.
 


With 14 day break for Olympics and ASG, may increase average # of games/week from 3.25. Only two teams this season play 5 games in a week. Might increase next season.
