Sidney Crosby Makes Exciting Prediction for 2026 Milan Olympics

The 2026 Olympic Games are almost upon us, and with best-on-best returning with more than just four teams, considering what a success the Four Nations Faceoff was, this is bound to be huge for the sport of hockey.

With nations like Canada, the USA, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Slovakia and others battling it out for gold, it's going to be an amazing tournament all around, with many players looking to claim gold in their last shot on the international stage.

One thing that we learned at the Four Nations was that in best-on-best hockey in 2025, the game is all about speed, and Pittsburgh Penguins/Team Canada captain Sidney Crosby believes it will be the case again in Italy as he talks to the media at Olympic Camp in Calgary.

On Canada's squad alone the team will have the likes of Connor McDavid and Nathan MacKinnon, two of the NHL's fastest players, and with every team now featuring the best of the best, every single player on the ice will be quick.

Not only Canada, but every single team will feature many NHL players that bring speed to the ice, and with the level of play lifting at Four Nations, expect much of the same in this highly anticipated tournament.

With so many contenders for a gold medal, this tournament isn't going to be handed to Team Canada, as they know they'll need to bring their best every single night to pick up a medal, but with plenty of speed of their own, they're a star studded group led by Crosby that come into this tournament with confidence.
