The Boston Bruins will be quite well represented.

They've got six players who have been named to initial Olympic rosters.

The NHL-best is 9 players, which both the Florida Panthers and the Tampa Bay Lightning have, but the Bruins still rank among the best by sending their six.

Those six are:

• Henri Jokiharju, Finland

• Elias Lindholm, Sweden

• Charlie McAvoy, United States

• David Pastrnak, Czechia

• Jeremy Swayman, United States

• Pavel Zacha, Czechia

The big snub from a Bruins perspective is Morgan Geekie. He scored 50 goals in the 2025 calendar year.

Geekie's dilemma, of course, is that he's Canadian. He had to navigate the deepest player pool, and in the end, didn't get a roster spot.

Pastrnak joked that they should get Geekie on Team Czech, but obviously that can't actually happen.

At least when Geekie is watching from home, he'll have plenty of Boston teammates to root for.
