Macklin Celebrini scores Canada's first goal at the 2026 Olympics

The kid's are alright!

Team Canada has scored their first Olympic goal by an NHLer in over 4,000 courtesy of teenaged phenom Macklin Celebrini.

The North Vancouver, BC native scored Canada's ice breaking goal against Team Czechia this morning with just five seconds remaining in the opening period of both teams' Olympic opener.

Celebrini performed a deft tip on Cale Makar's point shot to give Canada a 1-0 advantage.
