During the broadcast of a Rivalry Series game between the Canadian and American women’s national teams, an exciting reveal took place — the unveiling of Team Canada’s jersey for the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games.
With only three months remaining before the Games begin, anticipation in Canada is building rapidly for the Olympic hockey tournaments.
The Milano Cortina 2026 tournament will mark the long-awaited return of NHL players to Olympic ice, their first appearance since Sochi 2014. Following the intensity of the 4 Nations Face-Off, expectations for this tournament are sky-high.
Besides Crosby, who represented Canada at Vancouver 2010 and Sochi 2014, all these players are set to make their Olympic debut. The remainder of the roster will be revealed in early January.
On the women’s side, no country has matched Canada’s Olympic hockey success. Since women’s hockey debuted at Nagano 1998, Canada has never missed the podium. Entering the Milano Cortina 2026 games as reigning Olympic champions, they aim to continue their unmatched record.
At Beijing 2022, Team Canada’s captain Marie-Philip Poulin became the first player—male or female—to score in four Olympic gold medal games.
The women’s roster is also expected to be announced in January.
Canada revealed its Milano Cortina 2026 hockey jerseys as fans await both rosters, marking NHL players’ Olympic return and celebrating the women’s team’s historic dominance.
