Olympic Ice Hockey

Olympic ice hockey is a prestigious team sport featured in the Winter Olympic Games, where nations compete for the gold medal. Each team consists of six players on the ice at a time: three forwards, two defensemen, and a goalie. The objective is to score by hitting a puck into the opposing team’s net. The tournament includes men’s and women’s divisions, and teams are often composed of professional players from various leagues. The games are fast-paced, emphasizing skill, strategy, and teamwork, culminating in a final round to determine the champion nation in each gender's category.
