Today at 22:05, ETV+ and ERR's sports portal will broadcast the live match between Latvia and the USA as part of the men's ice hockey tournament at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics. Commentators Villem Koitmaa and Jens Hubert Parras will provide insight and coverage during the game, making it accessible to both fans and viewers at home. This Olympic tournament promises to be a high-level contest as all the world's best players return after a twelve-year absence, coinciding with a break in the NHL schedule, allowing national teams to include their top talents.

In this match, Latvia will be reinforced with six players from overseas, including Rodrigo Abols, Uvis Balinskis, Teodors Blugers, Zemgus Girgensons, Elvis Merzlikinš, and Arturs Šilovs. These talented athletes bring valuable experience and skill to the team. Furthermore, the roster includes Kaspars Daugavinš, a seasoned captain with previous Olympic experience, currently playing in Germany's second league, marking his fourth Olympic appearance.

Since the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, Latvia has eagerly anticipated participating fully in Olympic ice hockey, consistently striving to showcase their passion for the sport on a global stage. This year’s Olympics represent not only a chance to compete but also to inspire pride among Latvian fans and showcase the country's hockey prowess against a formidable opponent like the USA.
