The Canadian hockey team defeated Germany 8:2 and will face Russia in the Olympic ice hockey quarterfinals.

The Russian-Canadian match is scheduled to begin 3:30 Moscow time [0:30 GMT] on Thursday.

With Russia clinching 2008 and 2009 world titles playing both times in the final games against Canada, many hockey fans and experts hoped that the teams will meet again in the final of the 2010 Olympics.

Russia defeated Canada 2:0 during the Olympic quarterfinals in the 2006 Turin Olympic Games, but finished fourth in the tournament.
