That includes Gabriel Landeskogwho was named as one of Sweden’s first six players on their provisional roster in June. He is accompanied by blueliners Oliver Ekman-Larsson And Erik Karlsson. Two other Olympians also made it: Rasmus Dahlin (PyeongChang 2018), who was on the preliminary roster alongside Landesog, and Pontus Holmberg (Beijing 2022).
There is a strong one Minnesota Wild presence on the roster, with four Wild players making the 25 mark, including rookie goaltender Jesper Wallstedt. Wallstedt has had a remarkable season so far, with eleven wins from his sixteen games, including four shutouts.
Four of the top five Swedish point scorers in the NHL this season are on the team. Luke Raymond (11 goals, 33 assists – 44 points), William Nylander (14-27-41), and Adrian Kempe (13-19-32) were all in the top six, while the 21-year-old Anaheim Ducks hotshot Leo Carlsson‘s game (17-25—42) also earned him a selection.
Sweden has competed in men’s hockey at the Olympic Games 23 times, with Milano Cortina 2026 being the team’s 24th appearance. Sweden made their debut at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp and won gold twice: in Lillehammer 1994 and Turin 2006. They have also won three silvers and four bronzes.
As the National Olympic Committees have the exclusive authority for the representation of their respective countries at the Winter Olympic Games, athletes’ participation in Milano Cortina 2026 depends on the choice of their NOC to represent their delegation at the Games.
