What is 1988 olympics hockey?

The 1988 Olympics hockey tournament was held in Calgary, Canada. A total of 12 teams participated in the tournament, which was played in a round-robin format followed by playoffs. The participating teams were divided into two groups of six each, with each team playing five group-stage matches.

The top four teams from each group advanced to the quarter-finals, with the winners of the quarter-finals progressing to the semi-finals. The gold medal match was played between the Soviet Union and Finland, with the Soviet Union winning 7-2 to claim the gold medal.

The Soviet Union finished the tournament with an unbeaten record, winning all seven matches they played. Finland won the silver medal, while Sweden won the bronze medal. The tournament was notable for the absence of many NHL players, as the league did not release its players to participate in the Olympics until 1998.
