Organizers admit ‘no plan B’ if hockey arena not ready for 2026 Olympics
  • Organizers for the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympics have acknowledged that there is no backup plan if the main ice hockey arena is not completed on time. The new 16,000-seat venue is currently behind schedule, with test events now postponed until January, while the first Olympic hockey game is still slated for February 5.
  • The lack of a contingency plan raises concerns about the readiness of the venue for the return of NHL players to the Olympics after more than a decade, potentially impacting the overall success of the games and the experience for athletes and fans alike.
