Veteran coaches say China’s men’s hockey team will be looking at blowout losses at Olympics
China should brace for a string of blowout losses at the 2022 Beijing Olympic men’s ice hockey tournament unless the International Ice Hockey Federation steps in and throws the hosts a lifeline, two international coaches warned.
“When you have host countries that are allowed to automatically qualify, this is what you get,” warned King, who has also coached in the NHL, Russia, Sweden and Germany. “What is very important is to have a plan and stay with it and I don’t think the Chinese did a very good job with that, they have been all over the map.“It’s scary, it really is. They are in way over their head for sure.”
China’s plans to ice a competitive team have been disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictive nationality rules that largely prevent them from pursuing players with dual citizenship as South Korea, Italy and Japan did when they played host to the Winter Games.
