Winter Olympics Men’s Ice Hockey Odds & Pick
With NHL stars involved at the Winter Olympics this year, the men’s Ice Hockey is likely to be one of the most-watched sports. The United States will be heavily favored to win their first gold since 1980, and a stacked squad is likely to see them go close. However, Canada could still be the interesting play at the odds available. The nation have won gold at two of the last four Winter Olympics, and they have failed to win a medal in just one of the last four Games.

Winter Olympics Women’s Ice Hockey Odds & Pick
The Women’s Ice Hockey competition will also be an engaging event, with action getting underway on the second day of the multi-sport event.
This looks set to be a straight fight between Canada and the USA, with the nations winning the last 24 editions of the World Championships between them. The USA could be hard to oppose as the reigning world champions, as they bid to reclaim the gold medal that they previously won in 2018.
