Men's Ice Hockey Tournament at the Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022


Recommended Posts

YEEEESSSSS!!! Been waiting for this announcement for a while now. 2018 just didn't feel the same without NHL players. Just hoping that COVID doesn't change plans. So excited to finally get to see our older generation of players (Crosby, Bergeron, Tavares, Pietrangelo, etc.) play along side the new wave of players that have risen to the top of the NHL (McDavid, MacKinnon, Point, Makar, etc.). Hopefully we can come away with the gold medal. Depending on who the GM picks, this has the potential to be one of the most skilled Team Canada's ever.

 

And it's not just Canada, the level of international hockey talent is greater than ever. Every country besides China will be sending some great players and I expect that there'll be a lot of competitive matches. Can't wait for the tournament to start!

:USA announced Mike Sullivan as head coach, will be assisted by Todd Reirden, John Hynes, David Quinn and Ryan Miller who will care about goalies. Stan Bowman will serve as GM and Bill Guerin as his assistant.

 

For Sullivan this will be his second experience as head coach with international hockey, he led team USA to the quarterfinals at the 2007 World Championships in Russia.

 

He was also at the Winter Olympics as assistant of Peter Laviolette in Torino 2006 where the team finished 4th. He served also twice as head coach assistant (of John Tortorella) at 2008 WCh and 2016 World Cup where USA lost all 3 preliminary round games.

This list should give you a good idea of Team :CHN players. All the ones with a Chinese flag next to their name. To China’s credit all appear to have some form of Chinese heritage.

 

IIHF told me they weren’t relaxing the eligibility rules for China and eg. Jake Chelios has no Chinese flag next to his name so I assume no more naturalizations?

 

Question is if that means no waiver for eg. Ethan Werek which is a 4 year case as he once represented Canada

New updates about our favorite pre-olympics time telenovela.

 

Found this on the specialized hockey forum send by a Norwegian user. Here is the copy/paste of his post

 

 

 

China will play against a russian KHL team 13 and 15 november according to norwegian hockey president Tage Pettersen. The game will be streamed on internet and is open for everyone. Luc Tardif (president iihf) and IIHF will pick out 5 experts that will monitor the games and decide if China is suited to take part in the men's icehockey olympic tournament.

Norwegian back Bonsaksen says to VG, it's not good for the sport if a team is beaten 30-0.. Tardif fear for the sports reputation if a team loses 30-0

Both VG and nytimes have articles about this.

Is there any result if IIHF decides China not being able to participate in the Games due to very low level. Who would take their place? The next highest IIHF ranked team?

Norway. As the highest ranked IIHF nation non qualified (11th).

 

it looks like 1 or 2 games between :CHN and a KHL team (still no officially announced which one) will be played during the 13-15 november period. Match(es) will be attended by 5 IIHF officials who will then evalute if China will be allowed to paricipate at the tournament. To make it fair the match(es) will be streamed live and free through the whole globe.

    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
