OLYMPIC ROSTER LIVE REACTION: Canada Announces Roster for 2026 Games
About this episode
Welcome to Daily Faceoff Live with Tyler Yaremchuk, Jason Gregor and Matt Larkin!
Team Canada has officially unveiled its Olympic hockey roster, and the selection process is already sparking major debate across the hockey world.
On today’s show, Matt Larkin joins Jason to break down the biggest surprises on Canada’s Olympic team, including Darcy Kuemper being selected in goal, Bo Horvat and Anthony Cirelli making the roster, and the stunning decision to leave superstar Connor Bedard off the lineup.
The guys analyze Hockey Canada’s roster construction, what these choices reveal about their Olympic strategy, and whether experience, defensive reliability, and two-way play were prioritized over pure offensive upside. They also discuss the biggest roster snubs, project line combinations and roles, and debate whether this Team Canada roster is built to compete for Olympic gold.
