The men's tournament in ice hockey at the 2014 Winter Olympics was held in Sochi, Russia between 12–23 February 2014. For the fifth consecutive Olympics, players from the National Hockey League participated. Twelve countries qualified for the tournament; nine of them did so automatically by virtue of their ranking by the International Ice Hockey Federation, while the other three took part in a qualification tournament.

Canada won the tournament, defeating Sweden 3–0 in the gold medal match, and avenging their 1994 gold medal loss. Finland finished with the bronze medal, defeating the USA 5–0, with captain Teemu Selänne awarded as the MVP of the tournament, scoring twice in the bronze-medal game.[1]

With the gold medal, Canada became the first men's team to successfully defend an Olympic title since the Soviet Union in 1988 and the first team to finish the tournament undefeated since 1984.[2][3]

Canada surrendered only three goals in six games, the fewest allowed by a gold medallist since 1928 when Canada shut out the opposition in a three-game tournament. Canada also scored only seventeen goals, the fewest by a gold medal-winning team in Olympic history, although Great Britain averaged fewer goals per game at the 1936 Winter Olympics (nineteen goals in eight games).

Gold medal game

Canada won the game 3-0 with goals from Jonathan Toews, Sidney Crosby, and Chris Kunitz,[7] each scoring their first goal of the tournament.[8] Canada shut Sweden out with an overpowering defense limiting them to 24 shots, and Canada's goaltender Carey Price played well when needed.[9] The Canadian team's executive director Steve Yzerman called the performance in Sochi the finest defensive effort ever for a Canadian team.[10] Canada shut out its opponents in the semifinals and final and allowed only three goals in six games. It was also the first time since 1928 that a Canadian team won all its games.[8]

The win represented Canada's second consecutive men's gold in ice hockey, and the third time in four Olympics that Canada won both men's and women's gold in hockey. Canada had not won back-to-back men's golds since 1948 and 1952, and no nation had done it since the Soviet Union in 1984 and 1988.[8]

The game was a national phenomenon in Canada, with more than 15 million Canadians watching at least part of the game.[11] Several provinces and cities relaxed their liquor laws to allow bars to open as early as 4am.[12]
