Patrick Kane, 32 points from passing Mike Modano as the NHL’s all-time U.S.-born leading scorer, was one of 44 players chosen Tuesday to attend next week’s U.S. men’s hockey Olympic orientation camp in Michigan.

Kane, a 2010 and 2014 Olympian, wasn’t a member of the 4 Nations Face-Off roster the Americans deployed in February, so this will likely be the 36-year-old future Hall of Famer’s final shot to represent his country on the big stage in Italy in February.

Of the 44 players invited to the camp Aug. 26-27 in Plymouth, Mich., some other Olympic hopefuls who weren’t part of the 4 Nations roster that lost to Canada in overtime of the championship include forwards Tage Thompson, Clayton Keller, Jason Robertson, Matthew Knies and Cole Caufield, defensemen Seth Jones, Ryan McDonagh, Brett Pesce, Alex Vlasic and Luke Hughes and goaltender Joey Daccord. In May, Thompson scored in overtime to give the United States its first gold medal since 1933 at the World Championships.

At the Olympics, rosters are expected to increase by one forward and one defenseman, with the U.S. expected to carry 14 forwards, eight defensemen and three goalies. The men’s tournament starts Feb. 11 with the gold medal awarded Feb. 22.

Like Canada’s upcoming camp, there will be no formal on-ice sessions. Still, fitness facilities and ice will be available to the players who are also leaving their offseason training to prepare for the upcoming NHL season. The purpose of the orientation camp is for players to meet with coach Mike Sullivan and his staff, and GM Bill Guerin and his staff, to learn about participation requirements to become eligible for the Olympics.
