The International Ice Hockey Federation is awaiting for the NHL and NHL Players Association to resolve the Olympic issue.IIHF president Rene Fasel has said several times during the past month that he believes he has come up with the money to cover the cost of NHL player contract insurance and travel, which he relayed again last week during a meeting with national hockey federations that included USA Hockey and Hockey Canada.Now Fasel awaits the decision from the NHL and NHLPA in the next month.Last week we met with the 12 participating teams to inform them of the ongoing developments in Korea, Fasel said Tuesday in a statement to ESPN. As I said before the door is wide open for all players to participate in the Winter Olympics, it was a challenge this year but we did our homework. We will await the league and the PAs decision and hope for a positive result. We do not wish to comment directly on what is now a matter between the NHL and the NHLPA.International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach has balked at paying previously covered expenses for NHL players from past Olympics, including contract insurance and travel.That has left Fasel to scramble together a financing plan which he detailed to federations last week. While exact details arent known, its believed some of the money would be coming from federations, which perhaps is not ideal for the likes of USA Hockey and Hockey Canada when that money should be going to youth hockey development.The IOC was also asked for comment Tuesday by ESPN. The organization, via its media relations team, responded: The IIHF is currently discussing this with the NHL and you would need to speak to them for more information.Last week at the NHLs board of governors meeting in Palm Springs, Florida, the league and owners presented a negative view of South Korea Olympic participation, although they fell short of taking a vote and shutting the door 100 percent to going to the Games again.Sources told ESPN that no official meetings are on the agenda presently. That may certainly change, and a decision must be taken, either way, by Jan. 15.Another source told ESPN that NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr and commissioner Gary Bettman were scheduled to speak at some point next week.A vote would likely not be needed from NHL owners if the decision is not to go, however, its expected a vote would be needed if the league agrees to an Olympic deal.Candido Ramirez Mexico Jersey .Y. -- Injured Buffalo Sabres forward Marcus Foligno did not practice with the team Monday and head coach Ron Rolston said its unlikely hell play in Wednesdays season opener in Detroit.

PAUL, Minn.Western Australia 6 for 268 (Voges 90*, Marsh 70, Kingston 3-44) beat Tasmania 8 for 267 (Doolan 93, Michael 89, Agar 2-46) by four wicketsScorecard Western Australia beat Tasmania by four wickets in Sydney to pip New South Wales and move to third place in the Matador Cup points table. Captain Adam Voges scored his third fifty of the campaign, an unbeaten 90, as he saw his team through in a 268-run chase.Voges decision to put Tasmania in seemed vindicated when Jason Behrendorff, the left-arm fast bowler, and part-time offspinner Ashton Turner, accounted for both the openers wickets, while also keeping things.Tasmania were 36 for 2 at the end of the 12th over, when Alex Doolan joined Dom Michael to lift them out. The pair put on 148, before Michael was dismissed for 89 in the 39th over.Tasmania struggled to get a move on, as the next 8.2 overs fetched only 39 runs with the loss of four wickets, including Doolan for 93 and James Faulkner for 13. However, a late flourish by Beau Webster and Xavier Doherty, where they took 27 runs ooff Andrew Tye in the 49th over, saw Tasmania finish on 267 for 8.dddddddddddd Tye ended with 2 for 83 as a result. Ashton Agar was the pick of the bowlers, with 2 for 46.Western Australia started with a 58-run opening stand between Hilton Cartwright and Shaun Marsh. Medium-pacer Hamish Kingston removed Cartwright and quickly followed it with Cameron Bancrofts wicket to reduce Western Australia to 64 for 2. But Marsh, who scored 70, and Voges steadied the innings with a 69-run stand for the third wicket.Tasmania managed to take four more wickets in the game, but couldnt do so regularly as Voges took his team along steadily. The defining partnership was the 71 he added for the sixth wicket with Turner, who scored 42 off 30 deliveries, which took them to within 20 runs of victory. Kingston broke that partnership as well, but his 3 for 44 wasnt good enough, as Western Australia won with 9 balls to spare. ' ' ' orry.
