There is no doubt that Carey Price and Team Canada are the favourites to win today's Men's Hockey quarter-final game in Sochi. 

The 26-year-old from the Ulkatcho First Nation in B.C. is starting in net for Team Canada and facing off against Latvia, a team with virtually no superstars but with former NHL coach of the year, Ted Nolan behind the bench. 

Nolan from the Garden River First Nation in Ontario is used to being the underdog but Latvia has already beaten the odds with a win over Switzerland on Tuesday. 

The game begins today at 12:00 PM ET.
