Since Colorado Avalanche goaltender began the 2025-26 season as the team’s starter in palce of the then-injured Mackenzie Blackwood, talks of the former being named as an addition to the 2026 Olympics began to heat up. Those talks continued into Tuesday evening when analyst/commentator/journalist Darren Dreger put out a post on X regarding the very topic.
Dreger announced that Wedgewood was added to the list of players who will be in consideration for participation in the 2026 Olympics.
Wedgewood has really stood out as one of the team’s true MVPs early in the 2025-26 season.
