The Chinese men's ice hockey team, which debuted on the stage of the Winter Olympic Games, lost 2:7 to the world's No. 1 Canadian team in the promotion match on February 15 (round of 8), thus ending the Winter Olympics with a record of four matches.
However, the Chinese men's ice hockey team ranked 32, when competing against the top five ice hockey teams in the world, showed the sportsmanship of "not fearing strong enemies, daring to fight, uniting as one, and never giving up", which has been forever recorded in history. After they were swept by the United States team 0:8 in the first game, they scored 2 goals of the world's No.4 German team in the second game, and finally lost 2:3, after being completely defeated by the Canadian team 0:5, when they met again, they scored 2 goals in the way of "still in color", although the strength disparity, the loss was inevitable, but the whole team became more and more frustrated, and the tenacious will to fight until the last moment ran through the beginning and end of each game, which was very exciting.
