Canada has won more gold medals than any other country in men’s ice hockey, but they haven’t done so since the 2014 Olympics. This means Canada will suffer a 12-year gold medal drought, an astonishing performance since Canada won three gold medals in four Winter Olympics from 2002 to 2014.
Canada will take on the Czech Republic, which has several NHL stars in Italy. Canada will feature Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon and Sidney Crosby, while the Czech team will feature David Pastrnak, Martin Nekas and Tomas Hertl.
