WJC: 2025 Team Canada Roster Talk

[ChazzMichaelMichaels]

Cowan
Wood
Yager
Rehkopf
Bonk
Molendyk

Is a strong starting spot with returning players.

Always so hard to predict a year out. Team is likely going to need Lindstrom and Catton to be important players even at 18 years.

I'd imagine Barlow, Barkey, Ritchie, Nadeau and Gauthier will be there. Myatovic maybe for some size and scoring?

No shortage of offense from the blueline, that's for sure. There is a handful of offensive d, could be a really good skating blueline. Wonder if someone like Andrew Gibson would be there to help bring some size and stability.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Meh mediocre college players that are too scared to play in a real league so run to play in an inferior league are not what we need.

The NCAA is producing quality NHLers at an equal if not higher rate than the CHL is at current moment.

Don’t bother with him

Myatovic has now aged out, he's a late 2004, this was his last year World Junior eligible.

 

[clydesdale line]

I can see Nick Lardis making some noise and being in consideration.

He could if he has an explosive 1st half in the O

LOL

Higher rate???

LOL it is amazing the lies that people will tell themselves.

 

[CapsFans]

Notable forwards in each age group who can make the team next year.

NA	05	06	07
Bedard	B.Nadeau	Catton	McKenna
Benson	Wood	Lindstrom	M.Misa
Celebrini	Rehkopf	Martone
	Sawchyn	Greentree
	Cristall	McQueen
	Heidt	R.Ritchie
	C.Ritchie	Spence
	Yager	T.Iginla
	Cowan

	Barkey
	Cataford
	L.Misa
	Basha
	J.Perron
	L.Pinelli
	Barlow
	Gauthier
	Lardis
	Howe Lind MacDonell Halaburda

Some notes:
- Cowan, Yager, Rehkopf, Wood are all possible returnees and Yager, Wood, Rehkopf all finnished top 4 in scoring on this years team only behind Celebrini.
- Gauthier, Barlow and MacDonell are all probably Hockey Canada kind of guys especially for bottom 6 roles
- As or right now M.Misa and McKenna probably wouldn't be slotted on next years team, but both have the ability to explode next season and push for spots.

 

[hockey20000]

give the C and A's to yager rehkopf wood next year and let them lead.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Justin Poirier and Mathieu Cataford will find a way there

 

[Mathieukferland]

Justin Poirier and Mathieu Cataford will find a way there

If by some miracle Alan Letang is back, poirier will be nowhere near this team. Despite a great start at hlinka he quickly became the 13th forward

Ryan Roobroeck?​

 

[PatrickMcC]

I would try something along these lines:

Catton-Lindstrom-Wood
Rehkopf-Yager-Barlow
Nadeau-Ritchie-Cristall
Lardis-Cowan-McQueen/Martone
McQueen/Martone-Cataford

Dickinson-Bonk
Molendyk-Yakemchuk
Elick-Gibson
Akey-Dragicevic

Bjarnasson/Ratzlaff

 

[chaser17]

Hopefully a good reset next year. This years team just felt off from the announcement of the camp roster.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Projects out as a much better roster although the unexpected players who make and stick in the NHL could always change it.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Meh mediocre college players that are too scared to play in a real league so run to play in an inferior league are not what we need.

Jumped the shark with this one as far as any plausible deniability of being a serious person. Power, Fantilli, Celebrini are all very recent Canadian prospects that played in NCAA.

I'm worried that NIL is gonna lure guys away from the CHL in the future.

 

[BigHitter67]

Ryan Roobroeck?​

noo..lol

In the future, maybe. It's meaningless right now.

NIL Reaches College Hockey ... With Burritos

TAMPA, Fla. When Bob Motzko said his team’s NIL benefit is free burritos as opposed to the millions of dollars football players earn, everyone thought he was joking...

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Better bring Lardis this time.

 

[Yultron]

Michael Misa needs to be on the team , going to be a star and is going to really continue his incredible young career ,

On pace for 82 points this season as a 16 year old , he’s no Bedard but he is going to be a really good player

 

[SOLR]

Ryan Roobroeck?​

The year after, he's not as developed as McKenna.

 

[Mathieukferland]

If Nadeau doesn’t make the team next year it’ll be a travesty IMO. He’s keeping pace with or outscoring some of the top end 04/05 American players from that juggernaut team.

 

[nucks88]

How long did they actually play in the NCAA though? It is not as if they were developed long term in that system.
