It’s been no secret how badly Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki has wanted to make Team Canada’s 2026 Olympic team. After a leak two days before thanks to the Fanatics store seemed to hint at that becoming a reality, the news is now official. Nick Suzuki is headed to Italy.
"I just found out that I made Team Canada this morning," said Suzuki on a message via the Canadiens social media. "I just wanted to thank you [the fans] for all the support, boost of confidence and cheering me on. I can't wait to put on the Canadian jersey and hopefully bring home a gold medal.
