Finland Announces 2026 Olympic Men’s Hockey Roster

Team Finland has announced their Mens 2026 Olympics roster in Milan. This will be the first time NHL players will be participating in the Olympics since 2014, which took place in Sochi, Russia.

Hockey is set to start on Feb. 11 at the games. However, Dec. 31 was the roster deadline. With Team Canada and USA already announcing their respective rosters, it’s now Finland’s turn to do theirs.

Here are the 25 players selected to represent their country.

This Finnish team has a few surprises that were different from their 4-Nations Face-Off roster. They added a few younger players like Kakko and Tolvanen. On the backend, they went with Lehtonen who plays for ZSC Lions. He did play in the NHL and suited up for both the Toronto Maple Leafs and Columbus Blue Jackets. Between the pipes, there really aren’t too many surprises, it’ll be Saros’ net to start and if he can’t shut the door then Lankinen will come in for him.
