Hockey Canada has officially invited a whopping 42 NHL players to orientation camp in preparation for the 2026 Olympics in Italy, with Connor Bedard and Sidney Crosby headlining the list of rich names.
After Bedard was snubbed from Team Canada's 4 Nations Face-off roster, it appears the 20-year-old sensation will not be passed up on again.
Team Canada has revealed a list of 42 names to head to their camp in preparation for the 2026 Olympics:
Connor Bedard, Macklin Celebrini both invited to Team Canada Olympic camp
26 Forwards: Bedard, Bennett, Byfield, Celebrini, Cirelli, Crosby, Hagel, Horvat, Hyman, Jarvis, Johnston, Konecny, MacKinnon, Marchand, Marner, McDavid, Nugent-Hopkins, Point, Reinhart, Scheifele, Stone, Suzuki, Tavares, Thomas, Verhaeghe, Wilson
13 Defensemen: Bouchard, Dobson, Doughty, Ekblad, Harley, Makar, Montour, Morrissey, Parayko, Sanheim, Theodore, Toews, Weegar
3 Goaltenders: Binnington, Hill, Montembeault

Not all names are expected to make the roster, of course, as 18 players make a full lineup, but others who end up being close calls will serve as replacements if an injury occurs.
