TORONTO – Fans across Canada are set for a double bill of Olympic hockey action today as the women look to bounce back from a tough loss and the men open their tournament.
Hockey faithful will gather at bars and watch parties this morning to see NHL players return to Olympic competition for the first time since 2014 as Sidney Crosby, Connor McDavid and their Canadian teammates face Czechia.
Before that, the Canadian women are taking on Finland in a rescheduled matchup that was postponed last week when the Finnish team was hit by a norovirus outbreak.
The team will look to rally from a disappointing 5-0 loss against the United States on Tuesday.
Regardless of today’s outcome, the women are assured a spot in the quarterfinal.
Puck drop is at 8:30 a.m. ET with the men’s game to follow at 10:40 a.m.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 12, 2026.
