Comprehensive List of PWHL Players at 2026 Winter Olympics

The countdown to the 2026 Winter Olympics women’s ice hockey tournament is approaching its final weeks. This year, the event in Milan promises a fresh experience for fans and players alike.

Unlike previous Olympics, this tournament features a modernized approach due to the establishment of the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL). Athletes now compete at a high level throughout the league, enhancing their skills in preparation for the international stage.

Impact of the PWHL on Olympic Selection

The PWHL has created an unprecedented opportunity for players. Instead of simply hoping for a selected spot on their national teams, athletes can showcase their talent regularly. This shift has contributed to a more competitive hockey environment heading into the Olympics.

The Montreal Victoire leads the PWHL with nine Olympians in their roster. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Frost boasts six players who will represent Team USA in Milan.
