With international hockey at its highest level in a decade, Canada 🇨🇦 has fallen short at all but one tournament…
Despite having arguably the best roster at the last two World Championships, upset playoff losses to Switzerland 🇨🇭 (2024) and Denmark 🇩🇰 (2025) saw the Canadians go home with no medals. These past Olympics of course just capped off with a heartbreaking loss to the United States 🇺🇸 in the final, but it took nail-bitting victories over Czechia 🇨🇿 and Finland 🇫🇮 to even reach that point.
The one moment of glory for Canada came at the 4 Nations Face-Off, but even at that tournament the team only achieved one regulation win (5-3 vs 🇫🇮) in four games. It doesn’t really matter since they were the champions, but it does show how small the gap is at the men’s international level right now.
Interesting fact: Starting goaltender 🇨🇦Jordan Binnington is the only player on all four of these rosters.

Finland is a fantastic example of a hockey country that was once not a medal competitor, but after years of proper development became a threat on the international stage! 🇫🇮🥉
They now have the most medals (5) of any country since NHL players have participated at the Olympics.

Could this finally be the end of 🇨🇿Jaromír Jágr’s historic career? 😔
The 54-year-old said in an interview that he would “probably not” play another game this season, adding that “It would have to be a miracle. God would have to come, enter me and make me 15 years younger,” if he wanted to play again.
Jágr is currently in the midst of his 38th professional season, playing for his hometown club Rytíři Kladno 🇨🇿 of the ELH, and has 1 assist in 6 games. He last appeared in a game on December 21.

He will need just 3 points to surpass 🇨🇿Milan Nový as the top scorer at the men’s tournament since 1980.
