Jordan Binnington, Colton Parayko and Robert Thomas are all part of 42 men's players invited to Canada's Orientation Camp for selection for the roster that will represent at the Milano-Cortana 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.
The three St. Louis Blues will take part in the camp to be held Aug. 26-28 in Calgary.
Three goalies, 13 defensemen and 26 forwards will all take part in naming a roster that will represent Canada in February.
The men's selections were made by a panel, including Blues GM and Canada GM Doug Armstrong, assistant general managers Julien BriseBois (Tampa Bay Lightning), Jim Nill (Dallas Stars) and Don Sweeney (Boston Bruins), director of player personnel Kyle Dubas (Pittsburgh Penguins) and coach Jon Cooper (Tampa Bay), with input from player relations advisor, former Anaheim Ducks great Ryan Getzlaf and Scott Salmond, Canada’s senior vice-president of high performance and hockey operations.
Binnington and Parayko each were on the squad for the 4 Nations Face-Off, which was won by Canada with its 3-2 overtime win against the United States.
