During the broadcast of a Rivalry Series game between the Canadian and American women’s national teams on Thursday, the jersey design for Milano Cortina 2026 was unveiled. With just three months until the Olympic Winter Games, excitement is building for the hockey tournaments.
Milano Cortina 2026 will mark the return of NHL players to the Olympics for the first time since Sochi 2014. The intensity seen in the 4 Nations Face-Off suggests this tournament will be memorable. Six players have already been named to Team Canada’s men’s roster:
Except for Crosby, who has previous Olympic experience from Vancouver 2010 and Sochi 2014, all named players will be making their Olympic debut. The full roster will be announced in early January.
Team Canada’s women’s team is the most dominant in Olympic hockey history, having won a medal at every Olympic tournament since women’s hockey was included in Nagano 1998. As reigning Olympic champions, they enter Milano Cortina 2026 with high expectations.
Team Canada’s captain Marie-Philip Poulin "became the first player—male or female—to score in four Olympic gold medal games" at Beijing 2022.
The women’s roster will also be announced in January.
The reveal of Team Canada’s Milano Cortina 2026 jersey marks rising excitement for Olympic hockey, featuring NHL players’ return and a dominant women’s squad defending their title.
