Ahead of the 2026 Olympic Games, Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck has debuted his new mask for the highly anticipated event.
The Olympic Games welcomes back NHL players for the first time in over a decade pushing Men’s Hockey back into the spotlight in Milan-Cortina.
The Winnipeg Jets will have plenty of representation at the games especially on Team USA which will feature Connor Hellebuyck and Kyle Connor.
Hellebuyck, the reigning Vezina and Hart Trophy winner, comes into the tournament as the top goaltender looking to carry Team USA to a potential gold medal.
Before the action begins, Hellebuyck revealed his new Team USA goalie mask on social media.

A new post from Jesse Granger unveiled Hellebuyck’s new look for the upcoming Olympic Games.
The mask features plenty of USA theming while also paying tribute to his home state of Michigan as well on the back of the mask.
In addition, Hellebuyck’s iconic bass fish imagery remains as it does on his Jets mask as well.
The mask goes along with the pads which Hellebuyck was already seen breaking in during a recent Winnipeg Jets practice.
This season, Hellebuyck has played in 36 games with the Jets posting a 2.79 goals against average and a .900 save percentage both disappointing numbers for the superstar American.
However, the Jets are hopeful suiting up for the United States could boost Hellebuyck’s confidence and get him back on track for the stretch run.
Team USA will begin their 2026 Olympic campaign against Latvia and as of now Hellebuyck is expected to be the starting goaltender for the team heading into the tournament.
