Minor Hockey Loses Ice Time During Olympic Games

Minor hockey teams in the Vancouver area will have to take a break during the Olympic Games. Minor hockey players can be from around the age of five to eighteen. Just like the National Hockey League, players will have to take a break from their sport but for a different reason. NHL players will take a break because some players will be competing as hockey players for their home country. Meanwhile, minor hockey players will take a break during the Games because their ice time will be given to different Olympic teams. These teams could be for hockey, figure skating, or any other ice Olympic sports. The minor hockey season is shorter than the NHL, so the playoffs have started already and will finish in March.Minor hockey teams in the Vancouver area will have to take a break during the Olympic Games.

  1. Normally I would be upset that the hockey season is being cut short, but in this case, I am totally okay with it!
