What kind of game does Hicketts play, how's his skating? Never seen him play but have seen pretty much all the other defenceman.

Nice one. Leaned to the left and then put on the quick brake and veered to the right and scored. This kid is a lock.
Ho-Sang is too much of a one dimensional player? What's the one dimension? If it's skating really fast and scoring lots of goals I'm ok with that. Why doesn't hockey Canada want a guy that can put up points and score?
Maybe Canadas sick of gold
risk/reward with him, he is not lighting the world on fire in the ohl so it made the choice easier, way she goes

Ho-sang is currently tied for 48th in scoring in the OHL. Not the CHL. The OHL. So theres that. The "lots of goals" he's scored is 4. Which ties him for 159th in the OHL. Not the CHL. The OHL So theres that.
As for Canada being sick of winning gold...its been 5 years.

Looking forward to seeing him play alongside one of Canada's top Cs. Could be a fun line to watch
Would like to see a Virtanen-Anyone-Ritchie line. Put someone with high intelligence in the middle(Reinhart?) and just let Virtanen and Ritchie make an absolute mess of the ice with physicality.

Anyone kinda annoyed at the start time of the Canada US game on New Years Eve? It's at 4pm EST.
I'm OK with Ritchie as long as he leaves the attitude at the door. With all the talk about Ho-Sang maybe somebody should tell Ritchie to have a look in the mirror. Attitude and a sense of entitlement doesn't equate well at this level.
I think most people would agree that Ritchie's problem is less about attitude and more about discipline. He needs to focus on effort and consistency (both of which haven't been noticeable issues in past international games). For what it's worth, lately he has been playing *less* recklessly.

Yeah I'm not too worried about it. Gonna be a busy day. Going to the Moosehead game that afternoon, Midtown to watch the Canada-US game, and a New Years Party that night. RIP to my liver.
It doesn't seem Ferraro has seen much of Point The difference between the two is Point plays on a Poor team in Moosejaw and Petan on a high powered Team in Portland. To say Point doesn't have the skill of 9 guys on that roster is funny at best. Point is one of the most dynamic skilled players in the Whl period plays with average players and makes guys around him better. Petan does the same things
but on a higher profile team playing with a much better cast.

This team could use some Sam Bennett...
What would this team look like if Canada could actually send all the players it had that were eligible to this tournament, regardless of their injury status or NHL team?

I know people from other countries always go nuts when we do this, but still, that is a pretty sick roster!
Well I'd like to see what someone else has to say about it, Petan is a sick hockey player and can make all sort of his plays with his hands.
