"There might not be a tougher roster to crack in all of sports than Canada's in a best-on-best hockey tournament, and this will be the first Olympics with NHL players since 2014. The amount of elite talent Canada has to choose from is staggering. They could ice two teams and be in the mix for a gold medal with both. Star players and past Stanley Cup champions won't make the cut. Not everyone can be selected."
"Geekie has been a goal-scoring machine. And it's not just a hot start to the season, either. He scored a career-high 33 goals for the B's in a contract year last season. He got paid in June -- a six-year deal worth $5.5 million per season -- and he's been even better. Geekie has an impressive 20 goals in 27 games through Monday, which is tied with Nathan MacKinnon for the league lead."
Morgan Geekie has elevated offensive production that warrants Olympic consideration despite intense competition for Team Canada. He scored a career-high 33 goals last season and signed a six-year, $5.5 million-per-season contract in June. He has 20 goals in 27 games, tied with Nathan MacKinnon for the league lead, pacing toward an elite total. Geekie leads all Canadian players with 53 goals since the start of last season and has scored 45 goals in 2025, the most of any player. Most of his goals come at even strength; he has fewer than ten power-play goals over the tracked span.
