A country-by-country breakdown of the Flames’ Olympic hopefuls

Twelve nations have been selected to participate in the men’s ice hockey tournament at the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing.

While some Canadian politicians have argued in favour of boycotting the Olympics as a form of protest against China’s human rights record, it currently appears Sidney Crosby and co. will attend in pursuit of extending Canada’s medal streak. Many American onlookers have expressed similar concerns about the Beijing games.

At this point, it’s unclear whether the 12 qualifying countries for the men’s ice hockey tournament will all be represented at the 2022 Olympics.
