Mikko Lehtonen has been here before. Finland is counting on that being a huge plus for their men's hockey team at the 2026 Winter Olympics. After all, Lehtonen won a gold medal in Beijing in 2022. That's right -- the Finnish squad is the reigning gold medalist.

Lehtonen is not the only player on Team Finland with Olympic experience. Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen was playing for HIFK in Liiga, Finland's top hockey league, and Seattle Kraken forward Eeli Tolvanen with Jokerit of the Kontinental Hockey League, when they were Lehtonen's teammates at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics.
