Finland is a fantastic example of a hockey country that was once not a medal competitor, but after years of proper development became a threat on the international stage! 🇫🇮🥉

They now have the most medals (5) of any country since NHL players have participated at the Olympics.

Going into the gold medal game, 🇨🇦Connor McDavid has already set the record for most points by an NHL player at the Winter Olympics.

He will need just 3 points to surpass 🇨🇿Milan Nový as the top scorer at the men’s tournament since 1980.

McDavid is still quite far away from the record of 37 goals/points set by 🇨🇦Harry Watson in 1924.

We have a little bit of history in the men’s ice hockey tournament at the 2026 Winter Olympics! 🥇

For the first time ever we have a repeat of the same four semifinalists from a previous Olympics. This goes back to when the playoff format was created in 1992.

Similarly to 2010, Canada 🇨🇦, United States 🇺🇸, Slovakia 🇸🇰, and Finland 🇫🇮 will play for medals. Only difference is the matchups:

FEB 20 (16:40): Canada 🇨🇦 vs 🇫🇮 Finland
FEB 20 (21:10): United States 🇺🇸 vs 🇸🇰 Slovakia

Despite posting a 3-0-1-1 record, Sweden 🇸🇪 will finish in 7th place in men’s ice hockey at the 2026 Winter Olympics! 😬

It is Sweden’s worst result ever at the tournament, with their previous being a 6th place finish back in 1936.

(Really they just fell victim to a strange format)
