The defenseman chasing Orr, and the silver medal that hurt
Cale Makar finished the 2025-26 season with 79 points in 75 games, his third straight 20-goal season, something no NHL defenseman had done in 34 years. He was named to the NHL First All-Star Team at defense, the sixth straight Norris Trophy finalist nod of his career, and finished second in the Norris voting with 47 first-place votes to Zach Werenski’s 113. The Colorado Avalanche won the Presidents’ Trophy as the league’s best regular-season team, and his teammate Nathan MacKinnon took the Maurice Richard Trophy with 53 goals, putting two major trophies in one locker room. The year before, Makar had won his second Norris with 30 goals and 92 points, the most by a defenseman since Mike Green in 2008-09.
Now the honest part, because two titles got away. The Norris three-peat did not happen: Werenski won it, Makar was the runner-up, and the vote was 113 first-place votes to 47. The Olympic gold got away, too. Makar wore #8 for Team Canada at the 2026 Milan Olympics, reached the gold medal game, and lost 2-1 in overtime to the United States, the first American men’s hockey gold since 1980, the team that Brady Tkachuk, Matthew Tkachuk, Jack Eichel and the Hughes brothers built. The career arc still puts him in rare air: his 1.09 points per game is second only to Bobby Orr among defensemen, and Ken Daneyko said on the broadcast, "He’s the closest to Bobby Orr I’ve seen." He already owns a Stanley Cup from 2022, a Calder Trophy, and a Hobey Baker. The Norris three-peat is the one that got away.
The shelf on this page is the full Makar inventory: six #8 jerseys at $72.80 and $76.99, split between the Colorado Avalanche and Team Canada. The Avalanche side has the Home Premium in burgundy, the Alternate Heritage in blue, the Reverse Retro 2.0 Authentic in white, and the Alternate Premium in navy. The Canada side has the 2026 Olympics Replica in red and white, the national-team shirts from the Milan silver-medal run, built by Bauer. The Colorado Avalanche collection holds the full team line, the Canada collection covers the national team, and the 2026-27 NHL season preview sets the league picture.

Why shop a Makar hub now
Three reasons. First, the pedigree is historic: 1.09 points per game is second only to Bobby Orr among defensemen, and the "closest to Orr I’ve seen" label is not thrown around lightly. Second, the shelf is the only one that spans the Avalanche and Team Canada in one place, with the Milan Olympics replicas that exist because of the silver-medal run. Third, the narrative is live: the Norris three-peat chase, the Olympic heartbreak, and the Presidents’ Trophy all landed in one season, so the #8 is the shirt of a player at the peak of a Hall of Fame arc. The Nathan MacKinnon Jersey Hub covers his linemate and the Maurice Richard winner, and the 2026-27 NHL season preview sets the league picture.
