NY Islanders C Bo Horvat part of Canada orientation camp; Mathew Barzal not invited
Briefly

Bo Horvat was selected to Hockey Canada's National Men's Team Orientation Camp, a key preparatory event for the 2026 Winter Olympics. His inclusion reflects his strong two-way play and leadership, finishing last season with 26 goals and 60 points. The camp, scheduled for August 26-28 in Calgary, raises questions about Mathew Barzal's absence due to injuries. Despite Barzal being a talented forward, his inclusion is uncertain. The final Olympic roster decisions will be made closer to the start of the 2025-26 NHL season, allowing for evaluations to continue.
Bo Horvat, highlighted for his two-way play and leadership, is among the 42 NHL players named to Hockey Canada's Olympic orientation camp for the 2026 Winter Games.
While Mathew Barzal's injury led to his omission from the orientation camp, Hockey Canada has not ruled out his chances for the Olympic team, with final selections made later.
