Canada’s NHL Stars Abandon Olympic Village—What’s Really Behind the Sudden Hotel Switch?
The Canadian men’s hockey team is ditching the Olympic Village.
With highly paid superstars up and down their roster, Team USA’s neighbors up north will leave the dorm-style accommodations for a five-star hotel, according to Sportsnet.
“I don’t think we’re doing it as an insult or anything like that,” goaltender Logan Thompson told the outlet on Monday. “We want to win gold, and we want to give ourselves the best opportunity to do so.”
The Americans, on the other hand, are sticking with tradition and sleeping alongside the thousands of other Olympic athletes Milano Cortina, Italy.
