Firebirds' Oscar Fisker Molgaard to Play for Denmark in Winter Olympics

PALM DESERT (CNS) - Coachella Valley Firebirds forward Oscar Fisker
Molgaard has been named to Team Denmark's roster for the 2026 Winter Olympic
Games, the American Hockey League team announced today.
  

``Oscar's selection to Team Denmark is a well-earned opportunity,''
Firebirds General Manager Troy Bodie said in a statement. ``He has consistently
represented his country at the international level, and this selection reflects
both his previous experience with Denmark's national teams and the work he
continues to put in every day with our organization. We're proud to see him
earn the chance to compete on the Olympic stage.''
  

Fisker Molgaard, 20, has 17 points in 28 games for Coachella Valley this
season, with six goals and 11 assists.
  

The Denmark native was drafted in the second round in the 2023
National Hockey League entry draft by the Seattle Kraken, and made his NHL
debut with the team earlier this season, notching an assist against the Chicago
Blackhawks.
  

Prior to joining the Firebirds, he played 129 games in the Swedish
Hockey League.
  

The men's hockey tournament at the Winter Olympic Games will be held
next month in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo in Italy.
