The 1988 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XV Olympic Winter Games, were celebrated in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and opened by Governor General Jeanne Sauvé. The Olympics were highly successful financially as they brought in million-dollar profits. The games left a lasting impression on the host city and gave it a new identity from a cowtown to a large commercial sector of the country. 1988 was also the last year that the Paralympics and the Winter Olympics were held in separate cities; all subsequent games have been hosted by the same city or a city nearby.

- The men's ice hockey tournament at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Canada, was the 16th Olympic Championship. The Soviet Union – in their last Winter Olympics as a unified nation – won its seventh gold medal, surpassing Canada for most in Olympic ice hockey at that point (Canada won its ninth in 2014). The silver medal was won by Finland, marking its first ever Olympic ice hockey medal. Sweden won the bronze medal. Games were held in the Olympic Saddledome, the Stampede Corral, and Father David Bauer Olympic Arena.
