Which Hurricanes Could Be Participating In 2026 Olympics?
Earlier this week, the first six players from each of the 12 nations competing for gold in men's ice hockey at the 2026 Winter Olympics were announced. Two players from the Carolina Hurricanes were among those first selections with Sebastian Aho (Finland) and Frederik Andersen (Denmark) being named to each's respective team. Advertisement But who else on the Canes' roster could be making the trip to Italy next year? Jaccob Slavin (USA) Slavin is regarded as one of, if not the, best defensive defensemen in the entire NHL and when you're in a format like the Olympics, where superstars are littering nearly every top roster, you need guys who can slow them down. He was lights out playing that role in the 4 Nations Face-Off for Team USA, leading the team in minutes alongside Minnesota Wild star Brock Faber, and he received universal praise from around the hockey world for what he was able to do. Fans in Carolina have long known how good Slavin is and, honestly, it was a bit surprising that he wasn't initially named to the USA's roster with the first six selections, but it feels like a bygone conclusion that the veteran blueliner will be there. Jaccob Slavin Finishes Top-10 In Norris Voting For League's Top Defenseman Jaccob Slavin Finishes Top-10 In Norris Voting For League's Top Defenseman The NHL announced the results of the 2025 Norris Memorial Trophy voting Wednesday morning for the league's top defenseman. Seth Jarvis (Canada) Jarvis was a part of the gold-winning Team Canada roster for the 4 Nations Face-Off and he has a good shot at making the Olympic roster too. Advertisement The talented winger is coming off of back-to-back 30+ goal seasons and he's proven to be a big-time performer as well with 19 goals and 43 points in 55 career playoff games. In addition, Jarvis has become one of the game's top two-way wingers, having led the league in shorthanded goals, and he's not afraid to throw his body, battle for pucks and forecheck and backcheck. He's a versatile player who can do anything that's asked of him whether that's play on the top line and power play or take on more a checking role and grind things out on the penalty kill and those are valuable players to have. 'You Need To Remember That Pain You Felt': Seth Jarvis 2024-25 Exit Interview 'You Need To Remember That Pain You Felt': Seth Jarvis 2024-25 Exit Interview The Carolina Hurricanes' 2024-25 season Advertisement came to a close earlier this week as the team lost in five games to the Florida Panthers in the Eastern Conference Final. No Russians The IIHF already ruled that Russia would not be allowed to participate in the upcoming Olympics so that means that neither Andrei Svechnikov nor Alexander Nikishin, each of whom were more than likely to make the team, won't get the chance to represent their country. Nikishin played in the 2022 Olympics, as he was still in the KHL at that point, and he took home a silver medal from that trip. New Faces? The Canes have a lot of cap space and a willingness to swing big this offseason, so perhaps there'll be someone new coming in that will be an Olympic player as well. Mitch Marner (Canada), Sam Bennett (Canada) and Nikolaj Ehlers (Denmark) are three of the biggest UFA names heading into the summer and all three would not only look good in Raleigh, but also representing their home countries as well.

9 EU Countries Call for Talks on Ending Trade with Israeli Settlements
Nine European Union countries have called on the European Commission to come up with proposals on how to discontinue EU trade with Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, according to a letter seen by Reuters on Thursday. The letter, addressed to EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, was signed by foreign ministers from Belgium, Finland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden. The EU is Israel's biggest trading partner, accounting about a third of its total goods trade. Two-way goods trade between the bloc and Israel stood at 42.6 billion euros ($48.91 billion) last year, though it was unclear how much of that trade involved settlements. The ministers pointed to a July 2024 advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice, which said Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories and settlements there are illegal. It said states should take steps to prevent trade or investment relations that help maintain the situation. "We have not seen a proposal to initiate discussions on how to effectively discontinue trade of goods and services with the illegal settlements," the ministers wrote. "We need the European Commission to develop proposals for concrete measures to ensure compliance by the Union with the obligations identified by the Court," they added. Israel's diplomatic mission to the EU did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said Europe must ensure trade policy is in line with international law. "Trade cannot be disconnected from our legal and moral responsibilities," the minister said in a statement to Reuters. "This is about ensuring that EU policies do not contribute, directly or indirectly, to the perpetuation of an illegal situation," he said. The ministers' letter comes ahead of a meeting in Brussels on June 23 where EU foreign ministers are set to discuss the bloc's relationship with Israel. Ministers are expected to receive an assessment on whether Israel is complying with a human rights clause in a pact governing its political and economic ties with Europe, after the bloc decided to review Israel's adherence to the agreement due to the situation in Gaza.
