McDavid, Crosby lead Canada's prep for 2026 Olympic men's hockey tournament

Connor McDavid felt what it meant to be an Olympian as he looked around at Canada's broader hockey team.

The Edmonton Oilers' captain was among 92 NHL, women's and Para hockey players summoned to a three-day orientation camp in Calgary to prepare for 2026 Winter Games in Milan and Cortina, Italy.

"Being here with the women's team, the Para team, you just get the feeling of being part of something that's bigger than just your club team, just being part the Oilers, or Pittsburgh, or Florida, it's so much bigger than that," McDavid said Wednesday.

"It unites the country."
