Personally I feel the answer is EASILY YES. The best players belong on the best stage no question.

Speaking of Olympic Hockey...

My company, in partnership with the BC Lottery Corp, is giving away 6 pairs of Gold medal game tickets. Guess what the face value of said tickets are? $4500!!

Do you know if they're expecting to sell out those games?

About a month ago they released the last 100k tickets for the events/opening &closing ceremonies. 1.7 million at that point had already been sold. I'm pretty sure the games are sold out now. (Or nearly sold out)

I said "yes" but only because of how other nations were using "loopholes" to put their professionals into the games. If it was an even playing field (non-pros) I would prefer to see the college aged kids out there (WJC on a much bigger stage.)

the issue here is money, NHL isn't making enough so they are trying to put the squeeze on to make some more money from the games, since the owners and teams are risking their prized players.
