Thanks for giving this a go, JackSlater.

It's nice to just be able to view some form of lines/structure for the upcoming squad.

By all accounts, looks like it's going to be a very deep, strong team even with all of the omissions. Pretty scary, to be honest.

Cuylle-Bedard-Sourdif would be a pretty damn fun line to watch this tournament. Cool blend of high end play-making and some overall just nasty.

Can't wait for a bit more clarity in the coming days on the roster.
Good post.

I agree. With all the omissions, the roster should be "garbage" (too strong a word) but it is quite impressive. Looks like Hockey Canada has been working overtime to produce quality players - to make up for the late teen drafts.

Canada is deep enough to survive various refusals, defections, and injuries. Should be a solid enough team and hopefully they set the stage for a successful 2023 tournament.

There is a team red, white, and team Canada for the U20s at the camp, only the red and white rosters are given but looking at the names (all 03s,04s no 02s) I’m guessing those teams are guys they’re looking at for the winter team, and the guys attending but not on red or white are penciled in for the summer team?

Think I heard the commentator state "hopefuls for the Winter Tournament in Halifax" -- so, looks like it is a look for that based on these rosters in the Red/White game.

Could be totally off base, but I think that's what I caught earlier in the first period.
 
The guy doing the commentating in this red/white game can't be faulted for lack of enthusiasm that's for sure.

I like his work in the booth as he is going it solo, might have a future calling our games.

Was just thinking this. Has a pretty solid cadence and tone for the commentary. It's been fun watching this scrimmage listening to get him so fired up and excited over every blocked shot, etc.

Agreed, I've really liked him overall, even when he got a little bit iffy there tripping over himself with the don't send me birthday gifts stuff..............he managed to recover and have it come off as "cute". If I may use that word.

Good stuff!!

Still getting a kick out of this guy..........."I have an addiction to positivity"

sprinkling the airwaves with words such as " eschews"


How often do you hear that out of a PBP guy?
