On Day 8 of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, we're teeing up the beginning of Canada's men's hockey team striving for gold against long odds under the leadership of team captain Eric Staal.

On day 7 of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, it wouldn't be an Olympic Games without a controversy in figure skating, right? Well at least this time it doesn't have anything to do with judges. The Russian Olympic Committee supposedly had a failed test of some kind that will prevent their team from medalling in the team figure skating event. After putting extra pressure on himself by falling in his first qualifying run on the half pipe, Shaun White thrilled in his second run, and he'll push for another medal to add to his collection. Women's snowboard cross had some of the best racing in the sport's history overnight, with Tess Critchlow staging a comeback for the ages, and Meryeta O'Dine winning a bronze medal for Canada in the final. To break down the day's events, host Andrew Berkshire is joined by the Senior National Writer for The Athletic in Canada; Sean Fitz-Gerald.

On day six of the Beijing Olympic Games, the biggest story of the day is the game between Team Canada and Team USA in women's hockey. In a preview of the most likely gold medal game, the two strongest teams in the sport faced off in the continuation of one of the best rivalries in all of sports. After the stream failing us yesterday, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention Max Parrot and Mark McMorris dominating the competition in men's slopestyle snowboarding, bringing home gold and bronze medals. Canada also brought home their first ever medal in ski jumping, taking the bronze in the mixed team event thanks to Alexandra Loutit, Matthew Soukup, Abigail Strate, and Mackenzie Boyd-Clowes, and Kim Boutin won bronze in the women's 500M short track speed skating event. Joining Andrew Berkshire to break down the day's events are the host of Locked on Kraken, PHF broadcaster, and live from Beijing; Erica Lindsay Ayala, and prospect guru and draft analyst for The Hockey News; Tony Ferrari.

On day four of the Beijing Olympic Games, one of Canada's most hotly anticipated events arrived, with Mikael Kingsbury looking to defend his gold medal from Pyeongchang, and hopes to become Canada's second two-time gold medalist in men's moguls, after Alexandre Bilodeau accomplished that feat in Sochi. In mixed doubles curling, Canada's Rachel Homan and John Morris faced off against the USA and Czechia as they battle to compete for a gold medal once again. The women's snowboard slopestyle went on to the medal round, as did the short track speed skating mixed 2000M. Also in speed skating, the men competed for gold in the 5000M.

The women's slopestyle snowboarding has begun, speed skating events kicked off with the women's 3000M, and the last chance to qualify for the medal round of the men's freestyle skiing moguls competition took place.

The Beijing 2022 games are finally here, and they open up with Team Canada's Women's Hockey team facing off against Team Switzerland. Canada also faced Great Britain in mixed doubles curling.

The IIHF failed the kids they brought to the 2022 World Junior Hockey Championships by not having a proper bubble, and the government of Alberta failed them with bad policy on top of it.
