Three Overlooked Golden Knights for the 2026 Winter Olympics
While most of the Olympic buzz surrounds Jack Eichel, Mark Stone, and Mitch Marner, there are several other Vegas Golden Knights who deserve recognition heading into the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Can you believe the next Olympics are already approaching, Golden Knights fans? Soon, countries like Germany and Norway will likely top the medal charts again, while the United States and Canada chase close behind. Even so, the event reminds us to celebrate national pride and unity.
This year’s games mark an exciting change: NHL players are returning to Olympic ice for the first time in twelve years. That means fans will finally watch stars such as Jack Eichel, Leon Draisaitl, Connor McDavid, and Auston Matthews represent their countries on the world stage.
Finally, Gary Bettman gets a "W" for marketing the game properly.
While much of the spotlight will be on the league’s biggest names, it’s just as important to highlight other Golden Knights who could make a surprising Olympic impact beyond Eichel, Marner, and Stone.
