Hockey Canada is hosting a summer orientation camp later this month, and three members of the Avalanche will be there.
Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, and Devon Toews — all of whom played for Team Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off — received invites to the event. Both MacKinnon and Makar were already named to the official roster.
In total, Canada has 42 men’s hockey players coming to camp, with hopes of picking their roster from this list for the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy. The camp will take place in Calgary, Alberta, from Aug. 26-28.
This is the first time in 12 years that the NHL is going to pause its regular season in order to let players participate in the event. The Avalanche will not play any games from Feb. 4 to Feb. 25 to accommodate.
The full roster of invites is below.
