Team Backgrounds and Expectations

"It marked the country's first gold medal in ice hockey, and the team is looking to take home another this time around."
Canada, a nine-time Olympic gold medalist in ice hockey, has not won since the 2014 Sochi Olympics and failed to medal in 2022.
Participation of NHL Players
The 2026 Winter Olympics will mark the return of NHL players after missing the 2018 and 2022 Games. From 1998 to 2014, NHL athletes competed, but the league halted participation due to scheduling conflicts during the season.
"With the Winter Olympics coming during the NHL's season, the league will take a mid-season break to allow players to represent their home countries."
This break allows top professional players to compete, raising anticipation for a highly competitive ice hockey tournament.
Summary: Canada and Finland have unveiled their hockey jerseys for the 2026 Winter Olympics as NHL players return to compete, setting the stage for an exciting tournament.
