CALGARY -- Drew Doughty has already lived his Olympic dream twice, winning gold with Canada as a 20-year-old in 2010 in Vancouver and again four years later in Sochi.

Now less than three months shy of his 36th birthday on Dec. 8, the Los Angeles Kings defenseman has a chance to represent Canada again at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.

It is his motivation.

"I expect to be on the team," Doughty told NHL.com at Hockey Canada's 2025 National Teams Orientation Camp last month. "I know it's going to be hard for me to make it, but personally I expect to be on that team. I do think making the best team in the world at 36 years old is quite an accomplishment. That would be amazing. I've honestly been thinking about this way too much and it's still so far away."
