Seth Jarvis Called to Team Canada for Olympics After Point Injury
Seth Jarvis went from napping on the couch to preparing for the biggest stage in international hockey. The Carolina Hurricanes forward received a call from Team Canada that would change his plans instantly. Brayden Point, originally slated to represent Canada at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, suffered an injury, opening the door for Jarvis to step in.
Jarvis, who has been leading the Hurricanes with 25 goals this season, described the moment as surreal. One minute he was asleep, the next he was learning he would don the Maple Leaf on one of hockey’s grandest stages. This isn’t Jarvis’ first brush with international competition. Last year, he played at the 4 Nations Face-Off and came close to making Canada’s final Olympic roster, only to be one of the last cuts. This time, he stayed ready—and it paid off.

The sudden call-up meant canceling a planned vacation to Cabo San Lucas. But for Jarvis, there was no hesitation. Representing Canada at the Olympics is a dream for any hockey player and he knew this opportunity couldn’t be passed up. With a whirlwind of phone calls, packing and flight arrangements, he is now set to join his teammates in Milan, traveling with NHL players on charter flights out of New York.
Jarvis’ integration into the team is expected to be smooth. Nineteen of the 23 Canadian players at the Olympics participated in the 4 Nations Face-Off, giving him familiarity with both teammates and the coaching staff led by Jon Cooper. That experience is crucial for quickly adapting to the Olympic style of play, which often demands high-speed decision-making and tight team coordination.
Coach Rod Brind’Amour expressed pride in Jarvis, highlighting how difficult it is to make Canada’s Olympic team. With so many elite players in contention, simply being called up is a significant achievement. Jarvis, meanwhile, emphasized that his focus is on contributing however he can, whether it’s scoring, setting up plays, or being a supportive teammate.
This development not only impacts Jarvis and Team Canada but also highlights the unpredictable nature of professional sports. Injuries can shift the landscape instantly, offering unexpected opportunities to those prepared. For Jarvis, readiness, perseverance and strong performance in the NHL earned him this moment on the world stage.
