The 2026 Winter Olympics have come to a close, but Raleigh’s got plenty of reasons to celebrate. USA’s Jaccob Slavin, Canada’s Seth Jarvis, and Finland’s Sebastian Aho are all coming home to the 919 with medals.
🥇 Jaccob Slavin | The Canes defensemen was a standout during the Four Nations Face-Off, and his hustle on the ice in Milan got him gold. Team USA killed 18 of 18 penalties during the Olympics, and we’re giving Slavin credit.
🥈 Seth Jarvis | Jarvis + Team Canada came in second to USA, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t work hard for their silver. Jarvis even earned his first Olympic point with a game-tying assist against Czechia, and his best friends from Winnipeg were a viral hit.
🥉 Sebastian Aho | Although he wasn’t part of the thrilling gold medal match, Aho and Team Finland still ended their Olympic stint with a 6-1 win over Slovakia to take bronze. Aho even scored the first goal against Slovakia to get the game started.
The whole Canes crew will be back on the Lenovo Center ice this week, starting with a Thursday, Feb. 26 matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning and a Saturday, Feb. 28 game against the Detroit Red Wings.
