The 2026 Winter Olympics (Milano Cortina) are already coming to a close, with only a few more days left until the closing ceremony, but before then we still have men’s and women’s ice hockey medals to hand out and Canada and the U.S. are still in the mix.

The men’s ice hockey competition is consistently one of the top three most-watched sports at the Winter Olympics. In many countries, particularly in North America and Northern Europe, it is considered the “premier” event of the Games but for Canadians, it is far and away the most-watched event. For example, during the 2014 Sochi Games, nearly half of the entire Canadian population tuned in to watch the gold medal game.

Canada at the 2026 Games

Canada are the leading favorites to win the gold medal in men’s ice hockey at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Canada reached the quarterfinals by betting Czechia 5-0, Switzerland 5-1, and France 10-2 and surviving a scare against Czechia in overtime 4-3.
