Ice hockey at the olympic games schedule and results
Ice hockey remained a marquee draw on Tuesday, February 17 (ET). The tournament format features an initial group or preliminary phase followed by knockout rounds that culminate in medal games later in the program. On a typical competition day during the group stage, multiple matches are scheduled across the afternoon and evening (ET), enabling fans in multiple time zones to catch at least one live contest.
Match-day operations: venues host consecutive sessions with early-afternoon starts for some pool games and primetime slots reserved for headline matchups. Team standings from these rounds determine seeding for the elimination phase; points earned in group play and head-to-head results factor into advancement.
Results tracking and updates for ice hockey are continuously maintained through the Games’ official results services and on-venue displays. For supporters following a particular nation or athlete, checking the official schedule will confirm exact puck-drop times in Eastern Time and the progression from pool play to the quarterfinals, semifinals and medal contests.
What to watch next: teams advancing out of the group stage will face increasingly short turnaround windows between games, testing depth and goaltending. The knockout rounds typically produce tense, low-scoring affairs where special teams and late-game discipline decide outcomes.
Final note: With medals changing hands across skating, sliding sports and ski events, the overall medal table remained in flux as the Games moved deeper into competition. Expect more dramatic finishes and pivotal ice hockey matchups as the schedule tightens toward the closing days.
