2010 Ice Hockey - Men's Seating Chart

Men's ice hockey is generally considered the most exciting and most anticipated Winter Olympic sport out there and is sure to be a must-see event in Vancouver.

Hockey is without a doubt the most popular sport at the Winter Olympics among Americans even though it is considered a distant fourth in terms of most popular sports in the United States.

It is worth noting that the popularity of the NHL has grown in recent years in the United States, recovering from a long-term strike that decimated the league.

Speaking of the United States, they were never really among the favorites to win the gold medal until they decided to start sending professional players to the Olympics.

Since that time, the United States has held their own at the Olympics, although they have come up short in their quest for a gold medal.

For the most part, Canada and several European teams are the favorites to win medals at the Olympics. Finland, Sweden and Russia are just some of the teams that posted a threat to medal.

There isn't much else more exciting than watching Olympic hockey, so make sure you tune in or grab tickets and check out the games live if you are somehow so lucky to make it to Vancouver.
