The 2022 Winter Olympics will take place in Beijing, China from Friday, February 4 until Sunday, February 20.

In fact, Beijing will be hosting the Olympics for the first time since the 2008 Summer Olympics. Now for men’s hockey, Team Canada will be looking for their first Gold Medal since the 2014 Sochi Olympics. They recently won a bronze medal in the 2018 Pyeongchang Games.
Team Canada was originally going to be represented by NHL players, but the league withdrew from the Beijing Olympics due to rising cases among teams. The squad will be guided by former Bruins/Canadiens Head Coach Claude Julien and will play games at the Beijing National Indoor Stadium. Team Canada currently has three scheduled preliminary events for Beijing:
