Ice hockey was on the 1920 Summer Olympic program and moved into the inaugural Winter Olympics in 1924.
A round-robin tournament was used to determine medal standings until 1992. Since then, the top six countries from the previous Winter Olympics automatically qualify, and eight other teams are split into two pools for round-robin competition to determine two additional qualifiers.
The eight qualifying teams then play a single-elimination tournament. The score of the gold medal game is shown from 1992 on.
Women's ice hockey became an Olympic sport in 1998.
