No year 2k Summit Series

By Sill ⋅ March 29, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Vladislav Tretiak, an ex-goaltender for the Russia Hockey Team, was hoping to revitalize the Canada-Russia Summit Series. He sent a letter to the NHL asking to use NHL players in the rebirth of the summit series.

However, the NHL has decided to pass on the idea saying they’d rather settle the Russia - NHL transfer agreement. I think this can be deciphered into, “We’re passing because Canada and Russia weren’t even in the Olympic gold medal game in 2006.”
