While field hockey has been played at all but one Summer Olympics since 1908, ice hockey has a more complicated history at the Winter Olympics. It has been contested at every Winter Olympics since 1924, but has only rarely included the best ice hockey players in the world. This is because professional athletes weren't permitted to play until 1988 and, even then, the National Hockey League (NHL) didn't allow its players to participate until the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano. Japan, NHL players competed in each of the next four Winter Olympics, but the league declined to allow its players to participate in the 2018 Games.
Canada won six of the first seven gold medals in the men's competition, while the Soviet Union won seven of the next nine gold medals. The Czech Republic won gold in 1998, the first year in which NHL players competed, and Canada won three of the next four Olympic gold medals. Olympic athletes from Russia won in Pyeongchang 2018.
Women's hockey was first played in the Olympics in 1998, and the United States won the first-ever gold medal in the sport. Canada won gold at the next four Winter Olympics, but the US defeated its North American rival in the gold medal game at the Pyeongchang 2018 Games.
