The Olympics in Milan are underway, and arguably the most popular sport of the bunch is warming up as well. Ice hockey events started Thursday, Feb. 5, but the matchups continue Friday with two more thrilling battles in the women’s preliminary rounds.
Yesterday’s action saw four games from the A and B groups, and it appears France and Czechia drew the short sticks in terms of scheduling. They’re both back on the ice Thursday night, taking on Japan and Switzerland, respectively. Given the high hopes that both France and Czechia have in this tournament, this back-to-back will be each team’s first true test to see if they can weather the storm that is about to come.
Here is the full schedule for ice hockey at the 2026 Olympics for Friday, Feb. 6:
