National Hockey League (NHL)

IceArizona AcquisitionCo has completed its takeover of National Hockey League (NHL) franchise The Phoenix Coyotes.

National Hockey League (NHL) players are a step closer to participating in the 2014 Sochi winter Olympics, as a final meeting between ice hockey associations and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is reportedly due to take place on Monday.

The National Hockey League (NHL) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) are reportedly closer to finalising an agreement to allow NHL players to play at the 2014 Sochi winter Olympics in Russia.

The Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) will halt next season’s 2013/14 schedule a full two weeks before the start of the Sochi 2014 Olympics ice hockey tournament, league vice-president Vladimir Shalaev said.

With only eight months to go until the start of the 2014 winter Olympics in Sochi, ice hockey governing bodies are still yet to come to an agreement regarding the release of players for Olympic selection.
