During the Rivalry Series game broadcast between the Canadian and American women’s national teams on Thursday, the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic hockey jersey design was unveiled. With just three months remaining until the Olympic Winter Games, excitement is building among Canadian fans for the hockey tournaments.
Milano Cortina 2026 will mark the return of NHL players to the Olympic stage for the first time since Sochi 2014. The intensity shown in the 4 Nations Face-Off suggests this tournament will be unforgettable. Six Team Canada members have already been announced:
Except for Crosby, who represented Canada memorably at Vancouver 2010 and Sochi 2014, the others will be making their Olympic debuts. The full roster will be released in early January 2026.
Team Canada women’s hockey has never missed an Olympic podium since the sport was introduced at Nagano 1998. They enter Milano Cortina 2026 as the reigning Olympic champions.
“Marie-Philip Poulin became the first player—male or female—to score in four Olympic gold medal games” at Beijing 2022.
The women’s team roster will also be announced in January.
With NHL players returning and Canada's proven dominance in women's hockey, the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic hockey tournaments promise thrilling competition and historic moments.
