During the Rivalry Series broadcast between the Canadian and American women's national teams, the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic hockey jersey design was unveiled. With just three months until the Winter Games, excitement for the Olympic hockey tournaments is building.
The Milano Cortina 2026 Games mark the return of NHL players to the Olympic ice for the first time since Sochi 2014. The intensity witnessed in the 4 Nations Face-Off suggests this Olympic tournament will be memorable.
Aside from Crosby, who competed in Vancouver 2010 and Sochi 2014, the others will make their Olympic debut. The full roster will be revealed in early January.
Team Canada’s women have been dominant since women's hockey was introduced at Nagano 1998, never missing the podium and entering Milano Cortina as the reigning champions.
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 for 2026 is expected to be announced in January as well.
