To the victors go the spoils, and that means the veteran Finns top our final 2022 Olympic men’s Power Rankings after their very first gold medal in Games history. The silver-medal ROC team is just a hair’s-breadth behind. The Slovaks, whose bronze victory marks their first Olympic medal of all time, nail down third place. Hockey fans, thank you for being amazing! This one-of-a-kind tournament is over, but our Power Rankings tradition will return soon.
