The quarter-finals of the men's ice hockey tournament at the Milan-Cortina Olympics are scheduled for Wednesday. The first match will feature Slovakia against Germany at 1:10 PM, which is notably significant for Finland as a German victory would prevent Finland from facing Canada in a potential semi-finals match. In this scenario, Finland would likely play against another strong team, the United States, instead.

Finland's own match against Switzerland is set to begin at 7:10 PM, and there is considerable anticipation surrounding the game given the stakes involved for the Lions. The results of these matches will determine Finland's path forward in the tournament, and local fans are hopeful for a strong performance against the Swiss team. For the Finnish players, the pressure is on to not only win their match but also to monitor the outcomes of the other games that could impact their strategy.

Detailed schedules and results for the Olympics can be found, including a dedicated results assistant that provides timelines and outcomes for all events featuring Finnish athletes. As the quarter-finals unfold, the excitement builds as teams compete not only for glory but also to secure more favorable matchups in the upcoming stages of the tournament.
