NHL May Reconsider Sending Players to Sochi over Security Concerns
The NHL says it will reconsider sending its players to Sochi next month if something "significant" happens before Feb. 9.
Deputy Commission Bill Daly said, "As of now, we do not doubt that all necessary steps are being taken by the Sochi Organizing Committee, the Russian government and the IOC to ensure the safety of the athletes and guests in Sochi," Daly wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "Obviously, if something significant were to transpire between now and February 9 that causes us to question that conclusion, we will re-evaluate. I don't expect that that will become necessary."
