Team Backgrounds and Expectations

Canada, a nine-time Olympic gold medalist in ice hockey, last won gold at the 2014 Sochi Olympics but failed to medal in 2022.
NHL Player Participation Returns
The 2026 Winter Olympics will feature NHL players competing for the first time since 2014. Previously, NHL players participated from 1998 to 2014 but were excluded starting in 2018 due to the Olympics falling in the middle of the NHL season.
The league will implement a mid-season break during the Olympics to enable NHL players to represent their countries.
This return of NHL players promises to heighten competition and excitement for ice hockey fans worldwide.
Summary
The unveiling of Canada’s and Finland’s hockey jerseys highlights their readiness for Milano Cortina 2026, marking NHL players' much-anticipated return to Olympic ice hockey.
