USA vs. Canada? 🥇 NHL Players Predict Olympic Hockey Medals | Milano Cortina 2026
Ahead of the opening contests of the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, NHL players give their bronze, silver, and gold medal predictions for the men’s ice hockey tournament. From USA–Canada rematch dreams to Nordic rivalries and surprise bronze picks, the predictions come with plenty of passion — and just a little fear of getting roasted back home.
Several players call for a USA vs. Canada Gold Medal game, echoing memories of the 2010 Olympic final, while others look back to the 2006 Sweden–Finland championship. We also hear unique picks for bronze from countries like Switzerland, Germany, Czechia, Sweden — and even a surprise Denmark shout.
Victor Hedman gives a solid Gold Medal game prediction, while Sam Reinhart delivers one of the most unexpected medal projections of the entire piece. Jack Hughes and Clayton Keller try to keep things diplomatic, and Cale Makar admits he’d “probably get roasted” if he didn’t pick Canada for gold.
Later, players predict who will score the gold medal-winning goal, with votes for captains, superstars, brothers, and even one bold self-nomination. Will it be Sidney Crosby recreating 2010? Auston Matthews for Team USA? Or a new Olympic hero in Milan?
🏒 Let the debate begin.

Hedman has taken too many blows to the head.

Well in the last Olympics with NHL Players it was :
Canada
Sweden
Finland
That could happen again.
Canada just needs their goalies to perform but I still think they’re walking away with gold
asking bedard to do a prediction is diabolical

Italy Won The Gold Medal
Bedsy 😢
No bias was found in the making of this video 😂
Sorry to the French and Italians, don’t believe Sam- there’s literally no chance in this universe either of these teams are medaling this year. Maybe an alternate universe 😭
No hate just being objective ❤️
holy bias bro
I actually think Sweden take Gold this year. You know they're dominate when a talent like Lucas Raymond ends up on the 4th line. But either way, Go USA 🇺🇸
