With about a month to go until the start of the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in South Korea it seems the hype machine is a little slow to build compared to previous years. Some suggest men's hockey is a big part of that.

All but three of the players on Canada's Olympic men's hockey team are from European leagues; 13 play in Russia's Kontintenal Hockey League.

The team is made up mainly of Canadian players based in Europe after the NHL bowed out of competing in South Korea.
