Canada's men's ice hockey team enters the 2026 Winter Olympics with something to prove.
The Canadians have not played in the men's gold medal hockey match in each of the last two Olympics, which is something that hasn't happened since the 1980s. As the 2022 Olympics didn't feature NHL players, the professionals appearing in this year's event are playing with a chip on their shoulders.
Canada is coming off a win in the Four Nations Face-Off last year, and the team will feature many of the NHL's best players. Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon and Sidney Crosby are just a few of the big names who will look to bring gold back to their country.

First up for Canada is Czechia, who is hoping to pull off a big upset to open their tournament. Czechia's team will feature a solid group of NHL players, headlined by David Pastrnak, Martin Necas and Tomas Hertl, all of whom have big game experience.
Of course, Canada is the favorite in Group A, but Czechia represents the best chance of any team to unseat them at the top. Therefore, the first match of the tournament is a big one for both sides.
