USA Hockey named the 25 players representing the men's national team at the 2026 Olympics.
USA Hockey has revealed its official men's roster for the 2026 Olympics in Milan, Italy.
The U.S. national teams for the men's, women's and Para hockey teams were announced during the TODAY Show. Their reveal follows Team Canada announcing its men's roster on Wednesday, while France revealed theirs earlier in the month.
"We're excited about our team and congratulate everyone named today," Team USA GM Bill Guerin said in a statement. "It was incredibly difficult for our management group to get to the final roster, and that's a credit to so many in our country, including all those at the grassroots level who help make our sport so strong. There's nothing like the Olympics, and I know our players and staff will represent our country well and work hard to achieve our ultimate goal."
This will be the first time that NHL players will feature in the Olympics since the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. As that tournament was almost 12 years ago, not one member of Team USA's 2026 Olympic roster was on that team, which finished fourth.
Two players were at the 2022 Olympics before they became NHLers, however. They are Ottawa Senators defenseman Jake Sanderson and Minnesota Wild defenseman Brock Faber. The Americans finished fifth in Beijing, China.
Only four players weren't on the American roster at last February's 4 Nations Face-Off: Minnesota Wild defenseman Quinn Hughes, Utah Mammoth captain Clayton Keller, Buffalo Sabres forward Tage Thompson and Florida Panthers defenseman Seth Jones.
Hughes, in particular, was dealing with an injury at the time of the 4 Nations, which kept him out of the tournament. Barring another injury, he'll be a reinforcement to USA's defense.
Team USA finished second at the 4 Nations Face-Off, losing the championship game in overtime to Team Canada.
New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox and Anaheim Ducks left winger Chris Kreider were on the 4 Nations roster but cut this time.
The men's tournament is set to begin on Feb. 11, with USA's first game against Latvia on Feb. 12.
Here's the 25-man roster. Asterisks indicate players who were already named to the roster during the summer.
