With the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina now just a month away, national federations have begun unveiling their men’s ice hockey rosters. Among the selections are three Buffalo Sabres who earned spots as top choices for their respective countries.

Kingston scored the fifth-most goals in the league last year and went 40-20-5-3, reaching the second round of the playoffs. Much of Kingston’s offence from a season ago is gone. Cedrick Guindon and Ethan Hay have moved on to college, while Tuomas Uronen, Joey Willis, and top blueliners Quint

It’s beginning to feel a lot like a Christmas miracle in Buffalo. The Sabres entered the holiday break as the hottest team in the NHL, riding a league-leading seven-game winning streak and sitting just two points out of a playoff spot. They’re also a perfect 7-0-0 since the start of the “Jarmo Era.”

Tim Cornett / OHL Images After being overlooked a year ago, Liam Greentree is making his presence felt at Canada’s world junior camp. The Los Angeles Kings first-round pick finished third in league scoring last season with 49 goals and 119 points, earning spots on the OHL’s First All-Star Team and the CHL’s Third All-Star Team. Despite that production, the Windsor Spitfires forward did not receive an invitation to last year’s selection camp. “I think to build a foundation to

Newly hired general manager Jarmo Kekalainen has moved quickly to reshape the Sabres’ front office, bringing in former Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin and longtime hockey operations executive Josh Flynn, the team announced Sunday.

Now, the Barrie Colts defenceman is living it. “It’s obviously been super fun and super intense. We’re working every day to achieve the main goal, but we’re taking it day by day right now,” Aitcheson said. “Growing up watching the World Juniors, it’s been the thing you do every Christmas with your family. So being here and able to th

Natalie Shaver/OHL Images As Canada looks to rebound from back-to-back quarterfinal exits at the World Junior Championship, they'll lean on the international experience of Michigan State forward Porter Martone. At just 19, the Peterborough native has already medalled four times on the international stage. The Philadelphia Flyers prospect and sixth overall pick in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft has built an impressive resume with Hockey Canada. Last season, Martone captained the Bra

Natalie Shaver/OHL Images Despite being away from his club team while attending Hockey Canada’s national junior team selection camp, Cameron Reid still found himself back at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium. Team Canada opened its pre-tournament schedule with a 2–1win over Sweden on Wednesday night in Kitchener. “It's really electric. Every game I’ve played in the Aud has been one of the best,” Reid said. “It's better each time.” The 18-year-old defenceman arrived at the Gal

The Buffalo Sabres shake up their front office by replacing GM Kevyn Adams with Jarmo Kekäläinen, pursue star defenseman Quinn Hughes, and surge on the ice with a three‑game win streak and a strong Western road trip.
