Return of NHL Players to Olympic Ice
One of the most notable developments for the upcoming Olympic hockey tournaments is the return of NHL players for the first time since the Sochi 2014 Games. This has raised expectations for the men’s competition, especially after the intense play seen at the recent 4 Nations Face-Off.
Six players have already been confirmed for Team Canada:
- Sidney Crosby
- Connor McDavid
- Cale Makar
- Nathan MacKinnon
- Sam Reinhart
- Brayden Point
While Crosby brings extensive Olympic experience, the other five will be making their Olympic debuts, adding youthful energy and a fresh dynamic to the team.
Dominance of Team Canada in Women’s Hockey
In women's hockey, Team Canada has long been a dominant force. Since the sport's introduction to the Olympic programme at Nagano 1998, Canada has consistently reached the podium and enters Milano Cortina as the reigning Olympic champions.
Since women's hockey was added to the Olympics in 1998, Team Canada "has never missed a podium finish."
They remain a formidable competitor with a strong legacy heading into the 2026 Games.
