William Eklund, a forward for the San Jose Sharks, dreams of playing for Sweden in the upcoming Winter Olympics in Milan. Although no current Sharks are competing in the 4 Nations Face-Off, future opportunities abound. The NHL has confirmed that players will participate in both the 2026 and 2030 Olympics, with the World Cup of Hockey set to return in 2028. Players like Eklund and Macklin Celebrini are eager to showcase their talent on the international stage, viewing such experiences as pivotal to their careers and exciting for the sport.
I dream about stuff like that, Eklund said Wednesday. That would be so cool, and I'm going to do the best I can to make that team.
It's really good for the game, said Sharks rookie center Macklin Celebrini. It just kind of creates a little bit more excitement.
