The United States has announced its roster for the 2026 Winter Olympics, which will be held in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo.

This marks the first appearance of NHL players at the Olympics since 2014.

For most of the players, this will be their Olympic debut. The exceptions are defensemen Jake Sanderson and Brock Faber, who competed at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, although neither was playing in the NHL at the time.

The last time the U.S. men’s team won Olympic gold was in 1980 at the legendary Lake Placid Games—the famous “Miracle on Ice.”

Below is the U.S. roster (listed alphabetically by position).
