The pool stages of the Men’s hockey at the Olympic Games are done and dusted. Although my day job has become absolutely hectic covering the Olympics I’ve managed to watch pretty much every game.
I’ve moved away from writing match reports and the like because you can get those elsewhere and I’m not sure you’d read them anyway.

These pieces will largely be Great Britain focused because that’s where the majority of my audience are from and that’s where the majority of my knowledge is. I will however drop in things from other parts of the tournament and other teams, too.
So here we go.
