After playing on the first day of the men’s Olympic hockey tournament, some players took the opportunity to explore some of the other events happening in Sochi.

Switzerland forward Nino Niederreiter and a few of his teammates watched a women’s curling match, while Sweden defenseman Erik Karlsson enjoyed some quality time in the sun with a few of his teammates.
