A veteran of Olympic hockey competition isn't happy the NHL declined to take part in the 2018 Games.

Henrik Lundqvist tweeted his thoughts on the matter shortly after the league announced it would not be sending its players to South Korea.

Lundqvist has won a pair of medals representing Sweden on the Olympic stage, capturing gold at the 2006 Games in Turin and earning silver in Sochi back in 2014.
