The Vegas Golden Knights will have a significant presence at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, with a total of nine members of the organization heading to Italy. This includes eight players and head coach Bruce Cassidy, marking a major moment for the franchise and a testament to the team's talent.

Team Canada will feature three Golden Knights: forwards Mitch Marner and Mark Stone, and defenseman Shea Theodore. Cassidy will also be behind the bench for Canada as an assistant coach. According to Cassidy, Marner and Stone were "automatic" selections for the Canadian roster. Marner has had an impressive first season with Vegas, becoming the fastest player in franchise history to reach 40 points. Stone's selection is particularly significant, as it validates his resilience after battling back from complications over the past two years.

Representing Team USA are Golden Knights Jack Eichel and Noah Hanifin. Additionally, forward Tomas Hertl will represent Czechia, Jonas Rondbjerg will play for Denmark, and Akira Schmid was named to Switzerland's roster.

These selections highlight the Golden Knights' strong roster and the players' dedication to their sport. The fathers of several of the chosen players shared their excitement and pride in their sons' achievements, recognizing the years of hard work and support that led to this moment. Rob Stone, Mark Stone's father, recounted being present when Mark received the call from Canadian GM Doug Armstrong. Bob Hanifin, Noah Hanifin's father, expressed his excitement and relief upon hearing the news.

With the Winter Olympics approaching in February, the Golden Knights and their fans eagerly anticipate watching these players represent their respective countries on the international stage. However, the team's coaching staff is also hoping for the players to return healthy as they prepare for the remainder of the NHL season.
