Thursday is shaping up to be one of the most exciting days at the Winter Olympics for Canadian fans.

There are numerous medal possibilities, along with a hockey doubleheader.

Here are athletes and teams to watch on Day 6, along with the full schedule (all times Eastern):

Team Rachel Homan (women’s curling, Canada vs. Denmark, 3:05 a.m.)

The Canadian has been the dominant figure in his sport for the past decade. He’s looking for his fourth career Olympic medal.

This is a rescheduled game after a postponement last Thursday because of Finnish norovirus cases.
