Canada poised for another run at Olympic hockey gold with NHL's return

On Dec. 29, 2025, Canada will announce its Olympic roster Wednesday for the Milan-Cortina Olympics, after naming Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Sam Reinhart and Brayden Point.
After the NHL skipped past Games, its return for the Milan-Cortina Olympics intensifies pressure on Canada to deliver a podium finish following the 4 Nations Face-Off, which McDavid called `kind of the appetizer to what the Olympics could be`.
Goaltending questions persist as Jordan Binnington’s 4 Nations form and Logan Thompson’s.917 save percentage and 2.27 goals-against average shape decisions, while Connor Bedard’s injury may remove the 19-year-old rising star from contention.
The 12 countries set to compete will unveil full Olympic rosters this week, and the International Olympic Committee and Milan organisers say everything is on track despite construction delays.
With memories of Vancouver years ago, Connor McDavid said `Canada wins gold on home ice` after his dramatic 4 Nations Face-Off winner, fueling hopes for Milan-Cortina Olympics .
