San Jose Sharks forward William Eklund has ambitious dreams of representing Sweden in the upcoming Winter Olympics in Milan. Despite no current Sharks players participating in recent international tournaments, the NHL's plans for future best-on-best competitions promise more opportunities for players. The return of the World Cup of Hockey in 2028, alongside scheduled Olympic games, amplifies excitement within the sport. Sharks rookie Macklin Celebrini expresses enthusiasm about potentially playing alongside hockey legends and the thrill of competing on big international stages.
"I dream about stuff like that," Eklund said Wednesday. "That would be so cool, and I'm going to do the best I can to make that team."
"It's really good for the game," said Sharks rookie center Macklin Celebrini, who could be a candidate for Canada's 25-man Olympic roster next year. "It just kind of creates a little bit more excitement."
"That would be surreal," Celebrini said. "I think it's every kid's goal to play in the Olympics one day."
