"This is not just a statistical record or a hot run of form that New York Islanders star center Bo Horvat can simply keep his nose to the grindstone about and one day at a time it until a resolution is reached. No, the prospect of playing for Team Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina is something entirely different. It's always in the back of my mind, Horvat told amNewYork on Tuesday. I want to be there. Plain and simple."
"Horvat has currently built the sort of resume that should garner serious consideration from Canada GM Doug Armstrong, who serves as the president of hockey operations for the St. Louis Blues, and head coach Jon Cooper, who holds the same position with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Entering Tuesday night's action, Horvat's 17 goals this season rank tied for seventh in the league, which puts him at a career-best pace of 48 goals."
Bo Horvat aims to play for Team Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina and considers the opportunity a long-held dream. He says representing Canada and wearing the Canadian flag is a priority and he will make the most of any chance to compete. Horvat has 17 goals this season, tied for seventh in the NHL, projecting to a career-best 48-goal pace. Islanders captain Anders Lee praises Horvat's finishing touch and overall play. Horvat's Olympic opportunity is new because the NHL did not send players to the previous two Games. He represented Canada at the recent World Championships.
