Interesting. I was looking yesterday to see if there was a record of NHLers that have played in the IIHF Inline worlds in the past. I couldn't find a list but I can think of:
Anti Niemi- Finland
Henrik Lunquist - Sweden

aren't their restrictions to what they can do outside of their contracts? do they run the risk of having their contract severed in the event of injury? it seems like such a big risk to take, but i dont know how all that works.

Which always seemed a bit funny to me. That player is going to have to train and play to improve/maintain for the summer anyway. I realize I wouldn't want my multi-million dollar player base jumping but..
