The men's tournament in ice hockey at the 2022 Winter Olympics took place in Beijing, China between 9 and 20 February 2022.[1] Twelve countries qualified for the tournament; eight of them did so automatically by virtue of their ranking by the International Ice Hockey Federation, one, China, automatically qualified as hosts, while the three others took part in a qualification tournament.

The Olympic Athletes from Russia team won in 2018. The Russian Olympic Committee, representing Russia at the 2022 Games, were thus the defending champions.[2]

For the first time in history, the Czech Republic did not qualify for the quarter-finals and finished in ninth place, their worst placement in history.[3]

Finland won their first ever ice hockey Olympic gold medal after going undefeated and beating the Russian Olympic Committee in the final.[4]

Slovakia claimed their first ever ice hockey medal at the Olympics after defeating Sweden 4–0 and finishing third.[5]

Notes
  1. b Bratislava and Košice were the sites for 2019 IIHF World Championship; at the conclusion of the tournament the ranking were finalized with regards to the qualification slots.

Format

[edit]

The twelve teams were split into three groups of four teams each, in which they played against each team once. The top team of each group and the best second-ranked team advanced to the quarterfinals, while all other teams played a qualification round. A knockout system was used after the group stage.

Rosters

[edit]

Due to the lack of ice hockey talent in China, players had to be recruited from abroad. The Chinese men's hockey team was composed of eleven Canadians, nine Chinese, three Americans, and a Russian.[8] Neither the Chinese Olympic Committee, International Ice Hockey Federation nor the IOC commented on how it was possible for foreign players to compete for China, as the Olympic Charter requires competitors to be citizens of the country they represent. According to the nationality law of China, anyone who were naturalized as Chinese citizens, or those who resumed their Chinese nationality, must renounce all the other nationalities, as China does not recognize dual-nationality. The IOC Executive Board has the authority to make certain exceptions of a "general or individual nature", though it is unclear whether this was the case. When asked whether he had naturalized as a Chinese citizen, athlete Jake Chelios refused to comment, though he confirmed that he still has his American passport.[9]

NHL participation

[edit]

On 10 July 2020, the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA) and National Hockey League agreed to a renewed collective bargaining agreement, which includes a provision opening the possibility for the NHL to explore participation at the 2022 and 2026 Winter Olympics.[10] On 22 July 2021, the NHL released a 2021–22 schedule that included an Olympic break, but the league also announced that a final agreement had not yet been reached regarding Olympic participation of NHL players in 2022.[11] On 3 September 2021, an agreement was made to allow NHL players to compete.[12] In December 2021, many NHL players started contracting COVID-19 and several teams temporarily suspended operations while their players were in quarantine. This forced the NHL to postpone some regular season games and due to the rise in cases of COVID-19 worldwide; on 22 December 2021, the NHL announced that NHL players would not be released for participation in the Olympics.[13]

Match officials

[edit]

15 referees and 12 linesmen were selected for the tournament.[14][15]

Preliminary round

All times are local (UTC+8).[16]

  2. In case two teams were tied on points, the result of their head-to-head match determined the ranking;
  3. In case three or four teams were tied on points, the following criteria applied (if, after applying a criterion, only two teams remained tied, the result of their head-to-head match determined their ranking):
    1. Points obtained in head-to-head matches between the teams concerned;
    2. Goal differential in head-to-head matches between the teams concerned;
    3. Number of goals scored in head-to-head matches between the teams concerned;
