flag Construction delays at Milan's 2026 Winter Olympics hockey venue have jeopardized test events and ice readiness, despite sold-out final tickets.

flag Construction delays at Milan’s Milano Santagiulia Arena, the main venue for 2026 Winter Olympics hockey, have pushed back critical test events, leaving little time to assess ice quality and infrastructure. flag The primary test event, originally planned for December, was moved to a smaller venue, with no replacement scheduled. flag The women’s tournament begins February 5, just one day before the opening ceremony, and the men’s gold medal game is set for February 22. flag Despite concerns over safety and readiness, premium tickets for the final are already sold out, priced up to 1,400 euros—more than any other Olympic event. flag The arena, being built by a private company, is expected to host future events like the ATP Finals. flag This marks the first Olympic return of NHL players since 2014.
