History

Historical Context

At the 1998 Nagano Games—the 19th Olympic ice-hockey championship—the NHL paused for the first time, letting its clubs send players, including star goaltender Dominik Hasek. The Czech Republic captured gold as Hasek shut out Russia, while women’s ice hockey debuted, establishing goaltending as a marquee role that later inspired stars such as Carey Price.
