Four Oilers Invited to Team Canada's 2025 Olympic Orientation Camp
Team Canada has taken its first significant step toward building its men's hockey roster for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, and four Edmonton Oilers players are firmly in the conversation. Connor McDavid, Zach Hyman, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and Evan Bouchard were all named to Hockey Canada's 2025 National Teams Orientation Camp roster. McDavid's inclusion is no surprise. The best player in the league, along with Sidney Crosby, will be the face of the team. Whether he serves as team captain remains to be seen, and it will be a highly debated topic of conversation, but this team is not complete without No. 97. The 2026 Games will mark his first Olympic appearance after NHL players did not participate in 2018 or 2022. He was part of the 4 Nations Face-Off, but this is something different. Also on the invite list, but not a part of the 4 Nations series is Zach Hyman. Hyman's invitation is either an indication that those who selected the 4 Nations team made a mistake, or this committee wants to give him a chance to prove he belongs. He has been a stud for the Oilers since signing with the team as a free agent, and he's just a season removed from a 54-goal campaign in 2023-24. He's coming back from a wrist injury that could delay his return to the 2025-26 regular season, but if he misses time, it won't be much. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is the veteran of the group. His selection feels like a bit of a long shot given his recent decline in production. However, he's a solid two-way forward with experience and an ability to play in all situation, including the power play and penalty kill. Also making it from the Oilers is defenseman Evan Bouchard. He just signed a new four-year contract extension worth $10.5 million per season, and he's one of the league's elite offensive defensemen. There are high expectations for this player, but he seems ready to live up to them. Bouchard posted 82 points in 2023-24, and followed that up with a 67-point season in 2024-25. Most impressive are his playoff totals -- 55 points in the last 47 games. He's breaking records and elevating his game in big moments. That's exactly what Team Canada might be looking for. His poise and booming shot might be a weapon on the team's power play. That said, Team Canada will have plenty of firepower with Cale Makar a shoo-in for the roster. He might be among the most intriguing possibilities among Canada's deep defensive options. Canada's camp roster doesn't guarantee selection, but for these Oilers, it confirms their names are in the mix. With all four expected to play key roles in Edmonton's push for the Stanley Cup this season, a strong 2025-26 campaign could punch their ticket to Italy. Who makes the team and who doesn't. McDavid is the one certainty provided he stays healthy. The others have a good shot, but might need to start the regular season on a roll to be seriously considered. 6 Oilers Who Can Sign New Extensions This Year EDMONTON – Things only slow down from here.
