The women's hockey event at the 2026 Winter Olympics got hit with some tough news before the puck was even dropped. The preliminary round game between Finland and Canada scheduled for Thursday, February 5, was postponed after 13 players were placed in quarantine or isolation after a norovirus wreaked havoc on the team. Finland finished its practice on Thursday with just eight skaters and two goalies. The game was postponed until February 12. Finland is scheduled to play the United States on Saturday, February 7, which the team hopes will still happen.
