The United States has unveiled a 25-player roster for the men's ice hockey tournament at the 2026 Olympic Winter Games in Milano Cortina, featuring NHL stars like Auston Matthews and the Hughes brothers. General manager Bill Guerin emphasized team chemistry over individual stats in selections, building on the group's performance from the recent 4 Nations Face-Off. The team aims to end a 46-year gold medal drought since 1980.
Five-time Olympian Hilary Knight has been appointed captain of the 2026 U.S. Olympic Women’s Ice Hockey Team, marking a historic milestone as the first American hockey player to compete in five Winter Games. Alternate captains Alex Carpenter and Megan Keller, both in their third Olympics, will join her in leadership roles. The team begins its tournament against Czechia on February 5.
