Macklin Celebrini, Nick Suzuki among those included in Team Canada's Olympic roster

"Some of the more notable players included is San Jose Sharks forward Macklin Celebrini (Vancouver, British Columbia), who sits in third in the NHL in points. He is also just nine points behind league-leading Connor McDavid (Newmarket, Ontario), who was also included in Team Canada's roster. Among the league's remaining top point-scorers, Nathan MacKinnon (Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia), who is second in the NHL in scoring, will make his Olympic debut after helping Canada to gold in February's Four Nations Faceoff."

"Other NHL veterans on the Canadian Olympic roster include Mark Stone (Winnipeg, Manitoba), who was a franchise cornerstone as a member of the Ottawa Senators and more recently helped lead the Vegas Golden Knights to their first Stanley Cup in 2023, and defenceman Drew Doughty (London, Ontario), who has been a key cog in the Los Angeles Kings' defensive machine and who also won two Stanley Cups with the Kings."

Team Canada unveiled a 25-player men's hockey roster for the 2026 Winter Olympics with about one-and-a-half months remaining before the tournament. The roster includes top NHL scorers and established veterans. Macklin Celebrini sits third in NHL scoring and trails Connor McDavid by nine points, while McDavid is also named to the team. Nathan MacKinnon, second in NHL scoring, will make his Olympic debut after helping Canada win gold at February's Four Nations Faceoff. Nick Suzuki, tied for ninth in NHL assists, earned a roster spot. Veteran leaders include Sidney Crosby, Brad Marchand, Mark Stone, Drew Doughty and Cale Makar. Makar is seventh in NHL assists and will be part of an eight-man defensive group.
