The N-H-L is not going to the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.

The league announced its decision this afternoon, saying the matter was “officially closed.”

The league says no meaningful dialogue had materialized in talks with the N-H-L Players’ Association, International Olympic Committee and International Ice Hockey Federation.

N-H-L players had participated in the previous five Olympics dating to 1998.
