Canadian Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky says that NHL players should be allowed to play in the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang.

Canadian Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky has said that NHL players should be allowed to play in the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang.

The players have been allowed to play in the Sochi Games, but the league's participation in Pyeongchang is far from certain.

Gretzky told reporters: "When we grew up as kids, we dreamed of winning the Stanley Cup. That was a goal that if you made the NHL you couldn't play in the Olympic Games.

"So if I had a vote, I would vote to go because I love the Olympic Games and I think there's no bigger honour, there's no bigger thrill than representing your country and being part of Team Canada.

"It's something you can't even describe how special of a feeling it is to know that you get to put that red and white jersey on."

Gretzky represented Canada at the 1998 and the 2002 Olympics in Nagano and Salt Lake City respectively.
