I think that's what's most annoying. You'd think the NHL would be consulted as a main stakeholder.

The IIHF rules also specify the width of the rink to be between 26 and 30 metres, and the Olympic rink is set to be 26

You're right getbak. I think the players are looking back to the 2014 games in Sochi, the last time the NHL players participated, where the dimensions are 60m X 30m

The NHL players didn't participate, but, there was no concern for the arena's timeline or its dimensions.
