The 2026 Winter Olympics are already underway in Milan, but hockey fans are still counting down the days. The men’s ice hockey tournament is set to begin on February 11, and anticipation is building fast as the world’s best players prepare to represent their countries on the biggest international stage.

For the first time since 2014, NHL superstars will be back at the Olympics. That alone raises the stakes. As always, familiar powerhouses enter the tournament as favorites. Canada, the United States, Sweden, Finland, and Czechia headline a deep field, with Canada carrying the weight of history as the most successful nation in men’s Olympic hockey.
