Brock Boeser Expected to Join Team USA for 2026 World Championship

The reported pick underscores Team USA’s push to add NHL scoring.

Overview

Brock Boeser, reported Friday by Rick Dhaliwal, is expected to suit up for the United States at the IIHF World Championship in Switzerland.
It would be his first senior Worlds after a 22-goal, 48-point season that also included a league-worst minus-48 rating.
The tournament runs May 15 to May 31, which overlaps with the NHL playoffs and often draws players from teams already eliminated.
Reports also indicate young defensemen Zeev Buium for the U.S. and Tom Willander for Sweden are not expected to participate.
Carolina’s Taylor Hall is not expected to face further discipline for a hit that left American defenseman Jake Sanderson questionable, a wrinkle that could influence Team USA options.
