Despite a monster rookie NHL season with the Montreal Canadiens<\/a>, Lane Hutson didn\u2019t get an invitation to Team USA\u2019s Olympic Orientation Camp. It might be a clear sign he won\u2019t make the roster for the 2026 Olympics. Still, the Habs\u2019 star voiced a sincere statement after tensions rose between his father, Rob Hutson, and Brad Marchand<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The decision to leave Hutson off Team USA\u2019s 44-player list raised eyebrows across the NHL<\/a>. Inthe eyes of many, the reigning Calder Trophy winner deserved a shot to prove himself to the American team ahead of the 2026 Olympics in Milan.<\/p>\n

However, Lane Hutson\u2019s father, Rob, dropped a bold comment, hinting that his sons (Lane and Washington Capitals prospect Cole) could also represent Team Canada in the future, thanks to their dual citizenship. Marchand caught wind of the situation and couldn\u2019t resist chiming in with his characteristic irony.<\/p>\n

Addressing it<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s up to Lane Hutson to rectify the speculation with a straightforward comment about his preferred nationality and which team he\u2019d like to represent going forward.<\/p>\n

\u201c[My father] gets emotional and sometimes that gets the best of you and you say things you don\u2019t mean. It maybe gets taken out of context or whatever, but I\u2019m proud to be American,\u201d Hutson firmly answered, per TSN. \u201cI love USA Hockey, they\u2019ve done so much for me. Also, I love playing in Canada and I\u2019m very fortunate, but I\u2019m a USA Hockey player and that\u2019s how it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Marchand\u2019s going to Marchand<\/p>\n

It\u2019s what makes him who he is. Marchand won\u2019t ever mince words or keep his mouth shut\u2014if something\u2019s on his mind, he will put it out for everyone to hear. Fans either hate him or love him; there\u2019s no in-between when it comes to the two-time Stanley Cup champion. <\/p>\n

Recently, he commented on a social media post related to Rob Hutson\u2019s remark about his sons\u2019 international aspirations. It was a concise, five-word message, but it stirred the pot. Just like on the ice, it\u2019s that simple for Marchand to lit a match in the NHL. \u201cGet this guy in check,\u201d Marchand commented, tagging Lane Hutson\u2019s account.<\/p>\n

Now, Hutson eased any potential tensions with his honest statement. It seems highly unlikely, but if the day comes for Hutson to join Marchand in a locker room, it\u2019s better for the two to get along. Whether they play together for Team Canada or in the NHL, Marchand may be among the oldest players in the league<\/a> but his long-term contract assures he could still play alongside the young blueliner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite a monster rookie NHL season with the Montreal Canadiens, Lane Hutson didn\u2019t get an invitation to Team…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":194541,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5103],"tags":[254,265,5,264,21,5147,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-194540","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-montreal-canadiens","8":"tag-brad-marchand","9":"tag-canadiens","10":"tag-hockey","11":"tag-montreal","12":"tag-montreal-canadiens","13":"tag-montrealcanadiens","14":"tag-nhl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/115210601385231408","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194540"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194540\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/194541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
