Vegas Golden Knights‘ Jonas Rondbjerg will represent Team Denmark at the 2026 Winter Olympic Qualifiers.

Rondbjerg has represented Denmark at multiple levels throughout his career. He’s played 22 games at the World Juniors and 15 games at the U-18s.
The 2023-24 season saw the 25-year-old score one goal and three points in 20 games with the Golden Knights and nine goals and 25 points in 48 games with the Henderson Silver Knights of the AHL.
Joining Rondbjerg on his quest to secure a spot at the 2026 Winter Olympics held in Italy are Oliver Bjorkstrand (Seattle Kraken), Nikolaj Ehlers (Winnipeg Jets), Frederik Andersen (Carolina Hurricanes), Lars Eller (Pittsburgh Penguins) and Mads Sogaard (Ottawa Senators).
Rondbjerg is hoping to carve out a role with the Golden Knights next season and a strong qualification tournament would only help his case. If he can begin to build momentum and carry it into training camp and preseason, the 6’2, left-handed winger could himself as an NHL regular.
