With the 2026 Under-20 World Junior Championships (WJC) in the rearview mirror (where Sweden earned gold), the next big event in hockey is in February at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Nations have announced their rosters for this year’s Olympics (outside of Italy as of Jan. 15).
This year marks the first time since the 2014 Olympics (when Canada beat Sweden in the Gold Medal game) that NHL players will be participating, making these Olympics even more exciting for hockey fans. While there are players who fans believe should be on their home country’s roster who did not make it, there are plenty of players from the NHL who have seen plenty of international experience, and some, like Sidney Crosby, Brad Marchand, and Victor Hedman, who very well could be playing in their last Olympics in their playing careers.
Each NHL organization will have at least one player representing their nation, which should make for an exciting Olympics for fans, organizations, and players. The current rosters may change due to injuries.
