Brock Nelson is attending the USA Hockey orientation camp Aug. 26-27 in Plymouth, Mich, it was announced on Tuesday.

Nelson is among 44 players invited to the camp ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics. Aside from Matthew Tkachuk, every member of Team USA from the 4 Nations Face-Off will be present. Tkachuk was already named to the roster and is nursing an injury that might require surgery before the season begins.

Nelson is the only Avs player attending USA’s camp. The 33-year-old centerman had previously represented his country at World Juniors, the World Champions, and 4 Nations. He was not part of the Olympics roster the last time NHL players were there in 2014. This likely would be his only opportunity to play at the winter games.  At 4 Nations, Nelson did not record a point in four appearances, while averaging 14:23 per game in a depth role.

The full list of invites in below.
