Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and guest producer Cristian Ceniti open the National Hour with thoughts on Team Canada's roster selection for the 2026 Winter Olympics. Doug Armstrong, General Manager of the St. Louis Blues and Team Canada, joins the show to take us behind the scenes of his decision-making process. Doug also touches on how the team will manage their injury reserves, Macklin Celebrini's rapid ascension, the players on the outside looking in, and Jordan Binnington on the world's stage. Later, two-time Gold Medalist Chris Pronger (23:03) discusses Sam Bennett's omission from Canada's Olympic roster, the choice to stick with the same defensive group from the 4 Nations Face-Off, and Cale Makar's opportunity to captain the blue line. Chris also details Anthony Cirelli's upside on the roster and highlights 19-year-old Macklin Celebrini's selection.
