NHL Players Selected for Olympics by Hockey Canada

Hockey Canada has announced a 25-player roster for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, primarily featuring seasoned veterans, including stars like Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby. Notably, 19-year-old Macklin Celebrini from the San Jose Sharks is the only teenager selected. The team lacks young star Connor Bedard due to injury, with veteran players dominating the forward lineup. The defense includes eight players from the recent 4 Nations Face-Off, while goaltending remains a question with Jordan Binnington making the team despite struggles this season.
