Jets’ Morrissey cracks Canada’s Olympic men’s hockey team

Winnipeg Jets defenceman Josh Morrissey was among the 25 players selected for Team Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Winnipeg Jets defenceman Josh Morrissey will represent Canada at next year’s Olympics.

Morrissey was among the 25 NHL players selected for Team Canada for the Milano Cortina Olympic Winter Games in February. It is his first time representing Canada at the Olympics, though he has worn the maple leaf during the 2015 World Juniors and during the Four Nations Face-Off earlier this year.

He is the only member of the Winnipeg Jets named to Team Canada. Teammate Nino Niederreiter was named to Switzerland’s team earlier this year, and Team USA will reveal its final roster on Friday, according to TSN.

The roster also includes two players with Manitoba connections. Mark Stone, who is originally from Winnipeg and plays for the Vegas Golden Knights, was named as one of the forwards while Elkhorn’s Travis Sanheim, who plays for the Philadelphia Flyers, was selected as a defenceman.

Notable players named to Team Canada this year include Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon, Connor McDavid, Macklin Celebrini, Cale Makar and Jordan Binnington. The full roster can be found here.

Men’s hockey at the Olympics runs from Feb. 11 to 22, 2026.
