J.T. Miller and Vincent Trocheck have officially been named to the Team USA roster, become the first two members of the New York Rangers officially named to a 2026 Milan Olympic Games roster.

Of the 25 names on the USA roster, only three players were not apart of the 4 Nations Face-Off roster last season. Clayton Keller, Tage Thompson, and Seth Jones are the three new additions, with Adam Fox and Chris Kreider being the two omissions. While Quinn Hughes did not play in the 4 Nations tournament, he was named to the initial roster. Those rosters consisted of 23 names, while the Olympic roster is made up of 25. Here's a look at the full list of names who will be heading to Milan.

In four games played during the 4 Nations Tournament, J.T. Miller was held pointless but finished with a +1 plus minus rating. Additionally, Miller had seven penalty minutes which, most notably, came during the big fights in the first USA/Canada matchup. Miller also finished with a face-off win percentage of 61.0, averaged 16.40 minutes of ice time and had three shots on goal.

As for Vincent Trocheck—who was also held pointless—he finished 80th on the list of individual skater stats of all 80 players who participated in the tournament. In four games played, Trocheck saw just 11:11 minutes of ice time on average, was a -1 and had a face-off win percentage of 46.7.

It's a bit surprising that both players—who have been seriously affected by injury this season—still managed to make the roster but they certainly fit the style of play Team USA is going for. In 28 games played this season, Trocheck has nine goals and 13 assists for a total of 22 points. Miller has 10 goals and 12 assists for 22 points in 35 games. He is currently on IR for the Rangers.

Nonetheless, congratulations are in order to J.T. Miller and Vincent Trocheck! Opening ceremonies will be held on Feb. 6, 2026 with competition in the Ice Hockey events are set to kick off the day before.
