They begin their campaign against USA, dropping the puck on an Olympic tournament which sums up the Games itself - full of gaps and uncomfortable questions, yet somehow still unmissable. When you take NHL stars like Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid out of the Olympic men’s ice hockey tournament, what remains? The answer is ‘pumped up’ college kids, grizzled veterans brought back from the cold, a hapless host nation and European countries licking their lips - in short, a whole lot of intrigue. Unlike with basketball and the summer Olympics, the costs and benefits associated with bringing the world’s best to the five-ring circus have been moot.

Ice hockey is one of the sports in the Winter Olympics. Those first five Winter Olympic sports were: Bobsleigh, Curling, Ice Hockey, Skating and Nordic Skiing. This was in 1980 when the USA’s men’s ice hockey team looked to end the dominance of the Soviet Union.

Having 3-on-3 hockey could provide a place for amateurs and other pros around the world with NHL players back in the Olympics after not participating in 2018 and '22. IIHF, which has spent years several years experimenting with 3-on-3 tournaments, says doing the same with hockey could allow up to 240 more players to be Olympians. The International Ice Hockey Federation is preparing a proposal to add 3-on-3 hockey to the Winter Olympics as soon as 2030 in the French Alps, following the same expansion that basketball has had over the past two Summer Games.
