Goalie Adam Kingsmill of Smithers will be wearing the maple leaf for his second Paralympic appearance later this year.

Hockey Canada and the Canadian Paralympic Committee announced today (Tuesday) its 17 player roster for the 2026 Milano Cortina Paralympic Winter Games.

Previously, the goaltender helped Team Canada win Silver at the 2022 Beijing Paralympic Winter Games and recently won gold at the 2024 World Para Ice Hockey Championships.

Kingsmill is also the lone B.C. representative on the team, joining another goalie, five defense, and 10 forwards.

The team’s first game will be played on March 7th against Slovakia.
