Despite the fact that Team Canada is super deep and mega talented with one of the best rosters of hockey talent you'll ever see, defenseman Josh Morrissey is a big part of their blue line.
And in Thursday's opening 2026 Olympics game in men's hockey against Czechia, the Winnipeg Jets defenseman left the game and didn't return as of publishing this. Reports say he won't be back for the rest of the contest, a game that Canada was well on its way to winning at the moment.
What's the latest? We don't know yet how severe it is, but we'll keep you updated as we get more info.
