The NHL’s return to the Olympics is starting to feel real.
Rangers Adam Fox, J.T. Miller and Vincent Trocheck were invited to the U.S. men’s Olympic orientation camp, USA Hockey announced on Tuesday.
The camp will be held from Aug. 26-27 in Plymouth, Mich., and will largely serve as an administrative and team-building event with no formal on-ice activity.
All three players participated for Team USA at the NHL’s 4 Nations Faceoff tournament in February last season, but none were included amongst the initial players officially named to the team in June.
The six U.S. players who were announced early include Jack Eichel, Quinn Hughes, Auston Matthews, Charlie McAvoy, Brady Tkachuk and Matthew Tkachuk.
Fox, Miller and Trocheck may not have officially made the team yet, but sharing a head coach with Team USA could certainly help.
Mike Sullivan not only coached the three in Montreal and Boston for 4 Nations, but the new Rangers head coach is set to be behind the bench in Milan for the 2026 Winter Games.
Former Blueshirts Chris Kreider, Patrick Kane, Ryan McDonagh, Neal Pionk and Brady Skjei were also invited to the orientation camp.
The final 25-man roster is expected to be revealed in early January.
