1984 – CANADA 8, AUSTRIA 1

Being the youngest to ever play for Canada at an Olympic Winter Games wasn’t enough for Kirk Muller, he needed to be the youngest to score a goal, which he did – two, in fact – to lead Canada over Austria.

One day after his 18th birthday, Muller scored the eventual game-winner on the power play 12 minutes into the first period, and made it 3-0 just 13 seconds into the second; that goal remains the third-fastest to start a period in Canadian Olympic history.

“We had a great group of guys,” Muller recalls. “We were young and had a good mix of both junior and college guys bonding together quickly. We all had the same passion and shared the same goal; to do well over at the Olympics.

“Back then Carey Wilson and Pat Flatley were sort of the veteran guys because they had some experience playing university hockey down in the States and all. It’s funny to say that those were veterans since they were only 20-something years old.”

Wilson had a goal and an assist in the win over Austria, while Flatley added a helper for the Canadians, who scored the game’s first six goals.

Dave Donnelly, Bruce Driver, Dave Tippett, Dave Gagner and Craig Redmond had the other goals for Canada, which won its second game in as many days to open the Games in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia.

Muller, now the head coach of the Carolina Hurricanes, remembers the 1984 Olympics as a stepping stone towards developing his skills as both a player and coach. “Dave King was ahead of his time in many of his coaching techniques. He was big on the X’s and O’s, video and training methods.”

When asked if he thought any Canadian hockey player would ever take part in the Olympics at a younger age than him, Muller chuckled. “It’s hard to rule it out because there’s always going to be that next superstar that will roll along and make it hard not to include him.”

Other Games

1932 – Canada blanked Poland for the second time in three days in the four-team double round robin, scoring a 10-0 win to improve to a perfect 5-0 in Lake Placid. Stanley Wagner earned the shutout in his first Olympic start.

1968 – Morris Mott scored four times – the most recent four-goal game by a Canadian – and Fran Huck added two to help Canada bounce back from a loss and rout East Germany 11-0. The Canadians racked up 51 shots on goal, their fifth-most ever in a single game.

1998 – Chinese goaltender Hong Guo made 38 saves, but second-period goals from Danielle Goyette and Vicky Sunohara were enough to lead Canada to a 2-0 preliminary round win. Manon Rhéaume needed to make just eight saves for the shutout.

1998 - CANADA 13, JAPAN 0

Danielle Goyette scored a hat trick to lead Canada over host Japan as women’s hockey made its Olympic debut.

Hayley Wickenheiser scored twice and added two assists, and Stacy Wilson had a goal and three assists.

Canada outshot Japan 64-3; goalies Lesley Reddon and Manon Rhéaume both spent time in the crease to share the team’s historic win.

The significance of the game was not lost on the players, says Wilson, the team’s captain. “We enjoyed being a part of that history, knowing that it was such a big moment for women’s hockey.”

Goyette put her name in the record books 5:46 into the first period when she buried a Wickenheiser rebound for Canada’s first goal. With the score 2-0 late in the opening frame, Wickenheiser scored her first Olympic goal, with Wilson picking up the first assist.

The line of Goyette, Wickenheiser and Wilson had played together before the Games, and Wilson knew she was skating beside some skill. “I knew if I got the puck to one of them good things would happen.” The trio combined for 12 points in the game.

A six-goal second—including a goal each from Goyette, Wickenheiser and Wilson—gave Canada a 9-0 cushion after 40 minutes.

Once the game got out of hand the focus shifted to working on the small details but still pressing and playing aggressive. Four goals in the second half of the third period rounded out the scoring.

To its credit, Japan made Canada work to the final horn. “They never stopped pushing, [battling hard] in front of the net and skating hard,” says Wilson. “They always kept it clean and in the honour of a good hockey game.”

Other Games

1932 – William Cockburn recorded his second shutout in a row as Canada, represented by the Winnipeg Hockey Club, blanked Germany 5-0. Canada beat the Germans for the second time in the four-team, double round-robin tournament; it won the first meeting 4-1 two days earlier.

1936 – Canada beat Austria 5-2 and ran its unbeaten streak at the Olympics to 20 games. Canada won its third straight at these Games without taking a penalty.

1948 – Murray Dowey recorded his third straight shutout – and fifth of the Games – as Canada defeated Switzerland 3-0 to finish the round robin 7-0-1. Canada finished tied for first with Czechoslovakia but won the gold medal thanks to a better goal differential.

1964 – The Soviet Union scored a minute-and-a-half into the third period and nursed the lead the rest of the way, beating Canada 3-2. After winning its first five games, Canada dropped its second in a row and failed to medal for the first time in Olympic history.

1968 – Canada fell to Finland 5-2, the first win ever for the Finns over the Canadians at the Olympics or IIHF World Championship. Danny O’Shea and Billy MacMillan scored for Canada.

1992 – Goaltender Sean Burke stood tall as Canada outscored France 3-2 despite being outshot 29-19. Joe Juneau, Dave Archibald and Kent Manderville scored the Canadian goals.

2014 – Canada piled up 69 shots on goal and got goals from five different players in a 5-0 win over Switzerland to begin prelim play in Sochi. Rebecca Johnston paced the offence with a goal and two assists, and Charline Labonté made 14 saves for the shutout.

2022 – CANADA 6, ROC 1

At one of the strangest Olympic Winter Games in history, this might have been the strangest moment.

The preliminary-round meeting between Canada and ROC (the team representing Russia) was delayed more than an hour because the Russians’ COVID-19 test results had not yet been processed.

When the puck finally did drop, it was with both teams—and the officials—wearing KN95 masks, providing one of the most direct visuals of a Games played with very few fans and the global pandemic still dominating day-to-day life.

"We'd never actually worn (KN95). We always wore the blue ones before,” Natalie Spooner told The Canadian Press after the game. “This is actually much better, because it doesn't just suck into your mouth. I guess it's a little bit harder to see the puck if it gets in the way.

“I would say the biggest difference is talking. You have to talk so much louder for everybody to hear you on the ice.”

The delay and the masks certainly didn’t seem to affect the Canadians, who jumped out to a 2-0 lead just two-and-a-half minutes in thanks to goals from Sarah Nurse and Sarah Fillier.

Jamie Lee Rattray and Erin Ambrose stretched the lead to four in the second period before Anna Shokhina pulled one back for ROC late in the middle frame.

The Russians removed their masks before the third period, although the Canadians chose to leave theirs on.

“They just told us when we got out on the ice that their test results had come back negative and they were going to not play with them,” Spooner said.

"We just kind of said, ‘Well, we were in them for two periods, why not just stick it out?’ and we had them on already. We were already out on the ice, so we just kept them on and went with it.”

Masks or no masks, Canada dominated the final 20 minutes, outshooting the Russians 13-2 and adding goals by Rebecca Johnston and Marie-Philip Poulin to put a cap on one of the most unique games any of the participants will ever play in.

“We had a pretty good laugh about it,” Spooner said. “This is part of our story now, the COVID Olympics.”

Other Games

1932 – Canada, represented by the Winnipeg Hockey Club, won for the third time in four days and recorded its first shutout of the Games in Lake Placid, with William Cockburn blanking Poland 9-0.

1936 – The Port Arthur Bearcats, representing Canada, shut out Latvia 11-0 to improve to 2-0 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. Hugh Farquharson scored four times and added three assists, and Ralph St. Germain had three goals of his own for the Canadians.

1948 – Wally Halder and George Mara scored four goals apiece, and Halder added three assists for a seven-point performance, to lead Canada, represented by the RCAF Flyers, to a 12-0 victory over Austria in a penalty-free game by both teams.

1964 – Canada opened the scoring, but suffered its first loss of the Games in Innsbruck, Austria, falling 3-1 to Czechoslovakia to put its gold medal hopes in jeopardy.

1984 – Pat Flatley scored just 27 seconds in—the third-fastest goal to start a game in Canadian Olympic history—and Carey Wilson did the rest with a hat trick as Canada opened up preliminary-round play in Sarajevo with a 4-2 win over the United States.

GAME NOTES: CANADA VS. SWITZERLAND (FEB. 7)

Let’s try this again. After its scheduled opener against Finland was postponed Thursday, the road to a sixth Olympic gold medal officially begins Saturday as Canada’s Women’s Olympic Team faces Switzerland in its first game in Group A play at the 2026 Olympic Winter Games in Milan.

How We Got Here

The 23-player roster named to represent Team Canada was announced Jan. 9, and features a mix of experience and first-timers. Canada’s Women’s Olympic Team includes 16 players who helped capture a fifth gold medal at the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing and 20 who earned a silver medal at the 2025 IIHF Women’s World Championship. Seven players—Jenn Gardiner, Julia Gosling, Sophie Jaques, Kristin O’Neill, Kayle Osborne, Kati Tabin and Daryl Watts—will make their Olympic debuts in Milan.

Last Game

The Canadians last saw the ice in the finale of the Rivalry Series against the United States in December, where they fell 4-1 to the Americans in Edmonton. Brianne Jenner provided all the offence, scoring her 50th goal with Canada’s National Women’s Team, while Ann-Renée Desbiens made 28 saves.

Switzerland opened its tournament against Czechia on Friday rallying to win 4-3 in a thrilling eight-round shootout after erasing a two-goal deficit in the third period. Laura Zimmerman evened the score at 1-1 midway through the first period, and Alina Müller and Lara Christen scored in the third to send the game to overtime. Ivana Wey notched the shootout winner for the Swiss and Saskia Maurer made 33 saves.

Last Meeting

The Canadians and Swiss faced off in the opener of the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing (a 12-1 win for Canada), but the last time these two teams met on the Olympic stage was the 2022 semifinals, where Canada earned a 10-3 win. Marie-Philip Poulin scored twice, Sarah Nurse had four assists and Claire Thompson recorded a goal and two assists.

More recently, Canada shut out Switzerland 4-0 in the preliminary round at the 2025 IIHF Women’s World Championship last spring. Poulin had three helpers, Laura Stacey recorded a goal and an assist, and Natalie Spooner, Daryl Watts and Micah Zandee-Hart rounded out the scoring. Desbiens made 17 saves for the shutout.

What to Watch

As they usually are, all eyes are on Marie-Philip Poulin. The Canadian captain is within striking distance of the all-time Olympic goal-scoring record, sitting just one behind another icon of the game—Hayley Wickenheiser. Poulin has played 22 Olympic games (four back of Wickenheiser and Jayna Hefford for the most by a Canadian), recording 17 goals and 35 points. Milano Cortina will mark the fifth Games for the Beauceville, Quebec, native, making her just the third Canadian (alongside Wickenheiser and Hefford) to play five times on the biggest stage in sports.

The best finish for the Swiss came in 2014 when they earned Olympic bronze. After finishing fifth in 2018 and fourth in 2022, Switzerland comes to Milan with the tournament’s youngest roster—an average of 23.09 years old. But that doesn’t mean there’s a lack of veteran leadership. Müller and Lara Stadler are both competing in their fourth Games and led the Swiss offence four years ago in Beijing. Stadler—the captain—finished with five goals and nine points in 2022, while Müller had four goals and 10 points. And there’s a little bit of Canadian content; forward Vanessa Schaefer plays her club hockey with the University of British Columbia. The 20-year-old has six goals and 14 points so far this season for the Thunderbirds, the No. 1-ranked team in U SPORTS.

A Look Back

This marks the sixth meeting between Canada and Switzerland at the Olympic Winter Games, and the Canadians have won every matchup so far.

The first time these teams faced off was in Vancouver, with Canada earning a 10-1 win in the preliminary round. Meghan Agosta had two goals, and Cherie Piper and Wickenheiser had a goal and two assists each.

All-time record: Canada leads 5-0
Canada goals: 40
Switzerland goals: 6

1948 – CANADA 0, CZECHOSLOVAKIA 0

With the world still finding its way out of World War II, the Olympic Winter Games returned from a 12-year- hiatus in St. Moritz, Switzerland.

Canada had not participated in the 1947 IIHF World Championship due to a disagreement with the Ligue internationale de hockey sur glace (LIHG), the precursor to the International Ice Hockey Federation, over the definition of “amateur” and the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association had initially withdrawn from the 1948 Olympics.

In the end, the RCAF Flyers, a team of active and former members of the Royal Canadian Air Force based in Ottawa, were selected to represent Canada in a tournament played outdoors in the Swiss Alps.

“The further we went without a loss, the worse it got,” Canadian forward Wally Halder said upon his return from Europe. “The playing conditions didn’t help and some of the games were staged on ice that couldn’t possibly have been worse.”

By the time the game against Czechoslovakia came around, the Canadians and Czechs had identical 5-0 records, with the European side ahead in the standings based on its superior goal differential (+55 to +49).

Despite combining for 123 goals in their first 10 games—Canada had 54, Czechoslovakia had 69—the two teams played one of only four goalless games in men’s Olympic hockey history.

Murray Dowey earned the shutout for the Canadians, one of the record-setting five he recorded in St. Moritz. The Toronto native fashioned the longest and third-longest shutouts streaks in Olympic history—225:25 across four games from Jan. 30-Feb. 3 and 195:30 across four games from Feb. 5-8 (which included the Czech game).

Other Games

1932 – Canada scored the game’s first four goals as part of a 4-1 win over Germany, improving to 2-0 in Lake Placid.

1936 – Bill Thomson scored four goals—three in the first period, including the fastest two ever by a Canadian to start a game (2:00)—to spark Canada to an 8-1 win over Poland in the tournament opener in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

1968 – Roger Bourbonnais scored twice and Ray Cadieux made history with a goal just nine seconds into the second period—the fastest to start a period in Canadian Olympic history—to help Canada open its schedule in Grenoble with a 6-1 win over West Germany.

UPDATE: The game between Canada and Finland has been postponed and will now be played on Feb. 12 at 8:30 a.m. ET/5:30 a.m. PT.

GAME NOTES: CANADA VS. FINLAND (FEB. 5)

The road to a sixth Olympic gold medal begins Thursday as Canada’s Women’s Olympic Team faces Finland to begin Group A play at the 2026 Olympic Winter Games in Milan.

How We Got Here

The 23-player roster named to represent Team Canada was announced Jan. 9, and features a mix of experience and first-timers. Canada’s Women’s Olympic Team includes 16 players who helped capture a fifth gold medal at the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing and 20 who earned a silver medal at the 2025 IIHF Women’s World Championship. Seven players—Jenn Gardiner, Julia Gosling, Sophie Jaques, Kristin O’Neill, Kayle Osborne, Kati Tabin and Daryl Watts—will make their Olympic debuts in Milan.

Last Game

Canada wrapped up the Rivalry Series against the United States in December, falling 4-1 to the Americans in the series finale in Edmonton. Brianne Jenner provided all the offence, scoring her 50th goal with Canada’s National Women’s Team, while Ann-Renée Desbiens made 28 saves.

Last Meeting

On the Olympic stage, the Canadians and Finns met in Group A action in Beijing, with Canada earning an 11-1 win. Sarah Fillier opened the scoring just 61 seconds into the game. Jenner and Sarah Nurse each recorded hat tricks, with Jenner adding an assist for a four-point performance, and Natalie Spooner had four helpers.

More recently, Canada faced Finland in the semifinals of the 2025 IIHF Women’s World Championship, recording a 8-1 win to secure a spot in the gold medal game. Watts scored twice and Claire Thompson had a goal and two assists for the Canadians, who scored the final eight goals after the Finns struck in the game’s first minute.

What to Watch

As they usually are, all eyes are on Marie-Philip Poulin. The Canadian captain is within striking distance of the all-time Olympic goal-scoring record, sitting just one behind another icon of the game—Hayley Wickenheiser. Poulin has played 22 Olympic games (four back of Wickenheiser and Jayna Hefford for the most by a Canadian), recording 17 goals and 35 points. Milano Cortina will mark the fifth Games for the Beauceville, Quebec, native, making her just the third Canadian (alongside Wickenheiser and Hefford) to play five times on the biggest stage in sports.

Outside of Canada and the United States, Finland has won the most Olympic medals—taking home four bronze medals (1998, 2010, 2018, 2022). There are six Finns making their Olympic debuts (Sanni Ahola, Ida Kuoppala, Emilia Kyrkkö, Julia Schalin, Elli Suoranta and Siiri Yrjölä) and four who play in the PWHL (Ahola – Ottawa, Michelle Karvinen – Vancouver, Ronja Savolainen – Ottawa, Susanna Tapani – Boston). This is the fifth Olympics for Karvienen and the fourth for Tapani. And let’s not forget the legendary Jenni Hiirikoski; like her Canadian counterpart, the Finnish captain will play in her fifth Games, having earned Best Defence honours in 2014 and 2018, and a place on the media all-star team in 2014, 2018 and 2022.

A Look Back

This marks the eighth meeting between Canada and Finland at the Olympic Winter Games, and Canada has won every matchup so far.

The last time these teams played in Italy was at the 2006 Games, where Canada earned a 6-0 semifinal win. Cherie Piper scored twice, Gillian Apps had a goal and three assists, Wickenheiser recorded a goal and two helpers and Charline Labonté made 17 saves for the shutout.

All-time record: Canada leads 7-0
Canada goals: 40
Finland goals: 7

Since the Winnipeg Falcons represented Canada at the 1920 Olympic Summer Games, Canadian teams on the biggest stage in sports have worn jerseys that have celebrated the country, its provinces and communities and the Armed Forces.

TORONTO, Ontario – Hockey Canada, in partnership with the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC), has announced the 23-player roster nominated to represent Team Canada in women’s hockey at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games.

Canada’s roster includes three goaltenders, seven defence and 13 forwards:

Seven players—Gardiner, Gosling, Jaques, O’Neill, Osborne, Tabin, Watts—will make their Olympic debuts.

The 23 players nominated for the Games were selected by general manager Gina Kingsbury (Rouyn-Noranda, QC/Toronto, PWHL), head coach Troy Ryan (Spryfield, NS/Toronto, PWHL) and Cherie Piper (Scarborough, ON), senior manager of player development and scouting. Assistant coaches Kori Cheverie (New Glasgow, NS/Montréal, PWHL), Caroline Ouellette (Montréal, QC/Montréal, PWHL) and Britni Smith (Port Perry, ON/Syracuse University, AHA), along with goaltending consultant Brad Kirkwood (Calgary, AB/Toronto, PWHL), also provided input. Katherine Henderson (Thunder Bay, ON), Hockey Canada’s president and chief executive officer, also provided support as part of the executive committee preparing for the 2026 Olympic Winter Games.

As part of the journey to Milan, Canada’s management and coaching staff evaluated players through training camps, as well as during the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) and collegiate seasons, along with facing the United States in this season’s Rivalry Series.

“Paring down the roster to the final group to represent Canada is always a challenging process,” said Kingsbury. “We began the year with 30 athletes who trained with us throughout the season, while also evaluating a deep pool of talented players, ensuring every decision was carefully considered. We are confident we have selected a highly motivated and eager group who take great pride and passion in wearing the Maple Leaf. It has been a long four-year journey for our entire team, and we are excited for the opportunity to compete for a gold medal at the Olympics.”

Canada’s Women’s Olympic Team includes 16 players who helped capture Canada’s fifth gold medal at the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing, China and 20 who earned a silver medal at the 2025 IIHF Women’s World Championship.

“It is always an incredible honour to wear the Maple Leaf, and being selected to my fifth Olympic Games is something I never could have dreamed of as a little girl,” said Poulin. “Being part of Team Canada is so special; it is a moment of great pride and passion that we don’t take for granted as we hope to inspire more young girls to chase their dreams. I couldn’t be more excited for the opportunity ahead of us in Milan.”

In addition to gold in 2022, Canada won four straight Olympic gold medals in 2002, 2006, 2010 and 2014, and added silver medals in 1998 and 2018.

“Being selected to represent your country at the Olympic Winter Games is an incredible honour, and we congratulate these 23 incredible women for this outstanding achievement,” said Henderson.  “As proud Canadians, we are inspired by your accomplishments, and we can’t wait to cheer you on as you wear the Maple Leaf on the world stage and compete for a gold medal.”

In Milan, women’s hockey will take place Feb. 5-19 at both the Milano Rho Arena and Milan Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena. Canada will be grouped with Czechia, Finland, Switzerland and the United States in Group A. Canada will open the Olympics against Finland on Feb. 5 at 3:10 p.m. ET/12:10 p.m. PT.

"Composed of elite professionals, Canada’s women’s Olympic hockey team reflects the strength and standard of the women’s game in this country," said Jennifer Heil, Team Canada's Milano Cortina 2026 chef de mission. "I’m proud to mark this moment with this group, who embody the excellence of Canadian hockey, and the heart and strength of a generation that has never stopped believing in itself. Behind every name is a network of coaches, staff, clubs and families, and we’re grateful for the communities that helped get these athletes to this moment as we turn toward Milano Cortina."

CALGARY, Alberta – With less than 100 days until the start of the 2026 Olympic Winter Games, Hockey Canada has unveiled the two jerseys that Canada’s women’s, men’s and para hockey teams will wear in Milan, Italy.

The Team Canada Olympic and Paralympic hockey jersey, which include traditional red and white versions that were designed by Nike, was unveiled Thursday night during the TSN and RDS broadcast of the Rivalry Series game between Canada’s National Women’s Team and the United States in Cleveland, Ohio.

“With the Olympics and Paralympics rapidly approaching, and as fans eagerly await the start of the women’s, men’s and para hockey tournaments in Milan, we are excited to unveil the jerseys our athletes will wear as they represent all Canadians across the country and around the world on the biggest stage,” said Katherine Henderson (Thunder Bay, ON), president and chief executive officer of Hockey Canada. “These Olympic and Paralympic jerseys perfectly reflect Canadian hockey and the passion Canadian fans bring when cheering on our athletes, and we look forward to seeing our teams and fans alike wear them with pride as we look to capture gold medals in Italy.”  

The jersey’s iconic Maple Leaf crest combines sublimated satin twill and silicon to create the look of an unbreakable diamond, reflecting the ability of Canadian hockey legends of the past and present to withstand incredible pressure. It also represents the commitment to excellence that all Canadians expect, unifying players and fans by honouring the legacy of the Maple Leaf and hockey’s importance throughout the country. The red jersey features a bold, multi-shade black Maple Leaf with two black stripes on the arms and across the bottom, and perforated white numbers on the back that allow the base colour of the jersey to be accented. The white jersey features a similar look, with a multi-tone red crest, two red stripes that differ in colour to match the crest and red perforated numbers on the back that give the jersey a clean and classic Canadian look.

Before Canada’s women’s, men’s and para hockey teams begin their quest for gold medals in Italy, fans can purchase their own Bauer replica jersey for as low as $149.99 (plus taxes) at shop.hockeycanada.ca starting Nov. 7 at 10 a.m. ET/7 a.m. PT. All other retailers will have product available for sale starting Nov. 14. As part of a commitment from Hockey Canada and the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) to grow sport in Canada, a portion of the proceeds from all jersey sales will be reinvested into winter sports in the country.

“More than just uniforms, these jerseys reflect the pride, passion and history of Canada’s Olympic hockey legacy,” said David Shoemaker, chief executive officer and secretary general of the Canadian Olympic Committee. “These Games are an exciting time for hockey, marking not only the return of the NHL players, but the first Olympic Winter Games since the establishment of the PWHL. It’s truly a moment for the history books, and I for one can’t wait to cheer on the men’s and women’s teams at Milano Cortina 2026.”
