Morgan Geekie's Team Canada fate at the Olympics was just confirmed
Morgan Geekie and Team Canada Olympics talk took a hit today in Boston Bruins land.
The final Team Canada roster for the 2026 Olympics dropped, and Geekie is not on it, even after months of buzz around his breakout. A few outlets immediately tagged him as one of the most notable snubs.
That stings because the case was real, not a viral fantasy. Geekie scored 33 goals and posted 57 points in 77 games last season, and he followed it by staying on the goal trail into 2025.
Morgan Geekie and Team Canada Olympics tension
As a Bruins fan, it feels like the hockey world finally noticed him, then looked away at the last second.
NHL.com writers even framed him as a true sleeper, noting his calendar-year goal pace and how his shot could translate in short tournaments.
NHL insider Frank Seravalli also listed Geekie among Canada's «notable omissions,» which is basically the reminder that elite depth still gets left standing outside the velvet rope. That label matters because one injury can flip the depth chart in a hurry.

For Boston, the timing is brutal and motivating at once. The Bruins need Geekie's pace every night, and Canada's decision is fuel, whether he says it out loud or not.
If the phone does ring later, Geekie's fit is pretty clean, he can finish, he can slide up and down a lineup, and he does not need the spotlight to play hard. Until then, the Bruins get to keep one of their hottest scorers hungry, and that is not nothing.
