The future of NHL participation in the Olympics was discussed during the first day of the league’s annual Board of Governors meeting in Phoenix.

“We were given an Olympic update, and we’re waiting to see what arrangements we can make that would make it sensible for us to go,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said.

The issue has been a thorny one since the Nagano Olympics in February. The NHL took a three-week break to allow players to skate for their national teams, only to see CBS relegate the games to its late-night show.
