Connor McDavid represented Team Canada in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy. In the tournament, he helped Canada reach the final but fell 2-1 in overtime to the United States. Canada settled for silver, yet McDavid left the tournament with major individual honors.

His 13 total points and 11 assists set a new Olympic record in events featuring NHL players. He also wore the captain’s “C” in the final two games after Sidney Crosby suffered an injury.
McDavid drove Canada’s attack from the group stage through the knockout rounds. He created chances off the rush and forced teams to match top defenders against him. In the gold medal game, he nearly scored on a breakaway in the second period but was denied.
