During the broadcast of a Rivalry Series game between the Canadian and American women’s national teams, the Milano Cortina 2026 jersey design was unveiled. With only three months remaining until the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games, excitement is building for the hockey tournaments.
Milano Cortina 2026 marks the first return of NHL players to the Olympic ice since Sochi 2014. The recent 4 Nations Face-Off suggests this tournament will be highly competitive. Six members of Team Canada have been confirmed:
Except for Crosby, who previously represented Canada at Vancouver 2010 and Sochi 2014, the other five players will be making their Olympic debut. The full roster will be announced in early January.
Team Canada’s women’s team is historically dominant, having secured a podium finish every time since women’s hockey debuted at Nagano 1998. They enter Milano Cortina 2026 as the reigning Olympic champions.
Marie-Philip Poulin, Team Canada’s captain at Beijing 2022, became the first player—male or female—to score in four Olympic gold medal games.
The women’s roster for the upcoming Olympics will also be revealed in January.
The 2026 Milano Cortina Games promise thrilling hockey action, with Team Canada showcasing both seasoned veterans and fresh Olympic talent across men’s and women’s teams.
