Hockey Canada has officially unveiled its 25-player men’s hockey roster for the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina, giving fans their first full look at Canada’s bid for Olympic gold. The announcement was made on Wednesday, featuring a mix of elite NHL superstars and emerging talent.
As expected, familiar faces like Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby, and Nathan MacKinnon headline the roster, having long been considered locks even before the final list was released on Dec. 31. The Games will also mark the first time NHL players return to Olympic competition since the 2025 Four Nations Face-Off, where Team Canada defeated the United States to claim victory.
The forward group boasts impressive depth and scoring power, while the blue line is stacked with some of the league’s top defencemen. Canada’s goaltending trio brings a blend of experience and reliability heading into February’s tournament.
With expectations sky-high, all eyes will be on this star-studded lineup as Canada looks to add another Olympic chapter to its hockey legacy.
