Dallas Stars defenseman Thomas Harley and forward Wyatt Johnston are officially on Hockey Canada's radar for the 2026 Olympics, with camp invitations now confirmed.
The Dallas Stars continue to make noise on the international stage, and this week, two of their brightest young talents just took a major step toward Olympic consideration.
Thomas Harley and Wyatt Johnston have been officially invited to Hockey Canada's National Teams Orientation Camp, taking place this month in Calgary.
The event is part of the long-range planning for the 2026 Winter Olympics, and the invitation is a clear sign that Canada sees both players as legitimate candidates to represent their country on the biggest stage in sports.
It's a major honor, and a well-earned one.
Harley and Johnston are quickly becoming core pieces for Dallas and Team Canada
Harley, coming off a breakout season where he solidified himself as a top-pair defenseman alongside Miro Heiskanen, is now widely viewed as one of the best young two-way blueliners in the NHL.
«Harley's poise, skating, and hockey sense are elite,» one NHL analyst told Sportsnet after his playoff performance.
Meanwhile, Johnston has continued to impress with his maturity, goal-scoring touch, and complete game, despite being just 21.
Hockey Canada's Director of Player Personnel recently said:
«We want players who can play in any situation, and both Harley and Johnston have shown they belong in that conversation.»
For Dallas, this is more than just a national honor.
It's another reminder that their young core is rising fast, and that the league is paying attention.
Personally, I think both of them making the final Olympic roster is a real possibility if they keep developing the way they are.
