France Men's Ice Hockey Roster 2026 Winter Olympics: Full Team List & Players

 France relies heavily on veteran leadership and a strong domestic/European core, with Alexandre Texier as the lone current NHL player providing high-end skill and recent strong form. Stéphane Da Costa brings KHL scoring punch, while Pierre-Édouard Bellemare offers invaluable experience from over 700 NHL games.

The defense is mobile and physical, anchored by experienced players like Yohann Auvitu. Goaltending depth features reliable options in Quentin Papillon's absence, with Antoine Keller and Julian Junca expected to share duties. As the clear underdog in Group A against Canada, Switzerland, and Czechia, France will aim to play spoiler with disciplined, hard-working hockey and hope for strong netminding.
