The 2026 Winter Olympics saw several players from the Professional Women's Hockey League represent their respective countries in Milan.
While the PWHL, which launched in 2023, took a break from its third season, 61 of its players -- roughly 30% of the eight-team league's rosters -- took the ice for eight different countries.
Twenty-three PWHL players represented Canada, 16 suited up and won gold for the United States, eight played for Czechia, four apiece represented Sweden and Finland, three for Germany, two for Switzerland and one (Kristin Della Rovere) for Italy.
