You might recognize some former Pittsburgh Penguins during the 2018 Winter games in PyeongChang.

Men’s Ice Hockey games are set for Wednesday, February 14th with a matchup between the Olympic Athletes from Russia (OAR) vs Slovakia and Team USA vs. Slovenia. It’s obviously bittersweet for NHL fans who will not get to see the best players in the world represent their countries. Instead, players from around the world, who are affiliated with an NHL franchise, will take the ice for the opportunity to win gold. These players come from all over and some of them have ties to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
