Hockey Canada Highlights Ottawa Connections in Monday’s Olympic Team Reveal

Hockey Canada has revealed the coaching and support team for the 2026 Winter Olympics, featuring a strong connection to Ottawa. The Ottawa Senators are represented by head equipment manager John Forrest and head athletic therapist Domenicoletta, both joining Team Canada in the quest for the nation’s first Olympic men’s hockey gold in 11 years.

Forrest is no newcomer to international competition, embarking on his seventh mission with Team Canada, having participated in five IIHF Men’s World Championships where he earned two golds and one silver medal. Domenicoletta has donned the red maple leaf four times, including three World Championships, often seen delivering critical updates on players’ injury statuses during games.

Together, they contributed to Canada’s gold medal win in 2021 and silver in 2019, and recently were part of the team staff that supported the Four Nations Tournament in February. This marks their Olympic debut, a chance not only for medals but also to experience the unique atmosphere of the Olympic Village and the opening and closing ceremonies.

While no Ottawa Senators players are competing for Italy, teammates Brady Tkachuk and Tim Stützle have been named to Team Canada’s top six reserve players, with other player announcements expected later this year. Potential Olympic participants from the Senators include Jake Sanderson (USA), Nick Matinpalo and Levi Meriläinen (Finland), Linus Ullmark (Sweden), and Lars Eller (Denmark).

Hockey Canada announced it will maintain continuity in coaching and support staff following its recent success, including winning the Four Nations tournament. The coaching lineup features notable NHL figures such as Bruce Cassidy, Peter DeBoer, Rick Tocchet, and head coach John Cooper, alongside several personnel with deep ties to Ottawa hockey, including Sean Young, head of performance, strength, and conditioning for Ottawa 67’s.
