Barkov and Lundell to Represent Finland at World Championships Finland’s national ice hockey team will bolster its roster for the upcoming 2026 World Ice Hockey Championships in Switzerland with the additions of NHL stars Aleksander Barkov and Anton Lundell. The Finnish Ice Hockey Association announced the players’ participation on Thursday. Both Barkov and Lundell currently play for the Florida Panthers, who recently secured a Stanley Cup victory. The Panthers are concluding their season, providing the ideal timing for the players to join the Soome national team. Barkov, captain of the Panthers, led the team to victory in the 2024 Stanley Cup Finals. The Panthers finished the regular season with a record of 40 wins in the Eastern Conference, ultimately securing the 14th position. This inclusion represents a significant addition to the Soome squad as they prepare for the international competition. The participation of these NHL players is expected to strengthen Finland’s chances of success at the World Championships. Further details regarding the team roster and schedule will be released by the Finnish Ice Hockey Association in the coming days.
