Canada Unveils 2026 Women’s Hockey Roster

On January 9 2024 Hockey Canada and the Canadian Olympic Committee announced the 23‑player roster for the Milano‑Cortina 2026 Winter Games from Toronto. Captain Marie‑Philip Poulin leads a team that includes 16 veterans who won gold in Beijing in 2022 and seven debutants, giving the squad a mix of experience and fresh talent. Assistant captains Blayre Turnbull and Renata Fast join Poulin. The roster reflects changes brought by the PWHL’s launch in 2024, with training now in blocks rather than a single camp. Canada lost four recent rivalry‑series games to the U.S., being outscored 24‑7, yet hopes to defend its title against a strong American squad and rising contenders like the Czech Republic.
