Per eurohockey.com, Denmark has named its roster for the 2026 Olympic Qualifiers and Carolina Hurricanes netminder Frederik Andersen has been named as one of the players on the Danish ice hockey team. 

Andersen will be joined by fellow NHLers Nikolaj Ehlers (Winnipeg Jets), Lars Eller (Pittsburgh Penguins), Oliver Bjorkstrand (Seattle Kraken), Mads Sogaard (Ottawa Senators) and Jonas Rondbjerg (Vegas Golden Knights).

Denmark will face off against three other nations – Norway, Great Britain and Japan – for a spot in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo and Milan.

The qualifiers will take place August 29 through September 1 in Aalborg, Denmark.

If Denmark wins the qualifier, it'll mark their second ever Olympic appearance in ice hockey, having made their debut in the event in 2022.
