Seth Jarvis Added to Team Canada Olympic Roster"},"content":{"rendered":"

After he was snubbed in the initial selection for Team Canada\u2019s Olympic roster, Seth Jarvis is headed for Milan Cortina.<\/p>\n

Thursday, the Canadian Olympic Committee announced that Carolina Hurricanes forward Seth Jarvis was named to the 2026 Team Canada Olympic Roster to replace Brayden Point, who has dealt with a lower-body injury since he departed the Tampa Bay Lightning\u2019s January 12th game against the Philadelphia Flyers. Jarvis, who leads the Hurricanes in goal this season with 25, won gold with Team Canada in the Four Nations Faceoff last February.<\/p>\n

After the final home game before the Olympic break, Jarvis spoke candidly on how he felt about his chances for the Olympics.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I blew that opportunity already, I think that part\u2019s done,\u201d Jarvis said<\/a>. \u201cI mean, you never know \u2013 I\u2019m just trying to play the best hockey I can for the Hurricanes, and whether that results in me somehow ending up in the Olympics, that\u2019d be cool.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut that\u2019s definitely not my focus; I\u2019m focusing on the guys in here, the team in here, winning however we can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Point, who notched a goal and an assist during the Four Nations Faceoff, will be sorely missed for Team Canada \u2013 but there couldn\u2019t be a better alternative to cover his spot on the ice in his absence than Jarvis.<\/p>\n

In the past, Jarvis has spoken on modeling parts of his game after Point, who is also under six feet tall, and frequently cited him as the player he looks to when working on his offensive game.<\/p>\n

Jarvis, alongside Olympians Jaccob Slavin (USA), Sebastian Aho (Finland), and Nikolaj Ehlers (Denmark), will all play in Thursday\u2019s game against the New York Rangers. Frederik Andersen (Denmark) will serve as the backup goaltender for the match.<\/p>\n
