Canada's men open against Germany and the women's first opponent is Switzerland in Beijing's 2022 Winter Olympics.
The International Ice Hockey Federation announced schedules Thursday at its semi-annual congress in St. Petersburg, Russia.
The women's tournament starts Feb. 3 — one day before the opening ceremony — and runs to Feb. 17, while the men's tournament is 9-20.
The Canadian women, coming off a world championship win in Calgary in August, are in a pool with defending Olympic champion United States, Russia (referred to as ROC at the Games) and Switzerland.
Women's games will be played at the 14,614-seat Wukesong Sports Centre.
Canada lost the Olympic gold-medal game to the U.S. in a shootout in Pyeongchang, South Korea in 2018.
