Kaiser Matias who is active on here somewhat has posted a complete roster of the 1948 us olympic team on wikipedia, but I do not know if you meant the team that traveled that did not get to play. The IIHF guide and record book has complete rosters for every top level tournament, I could dig it out in the next couple of days and post.
Hello baronsforever!
I do have the rosters from 1948 of both teams now. But thanks for the offer anyway.
If there is something still missing with my stats, we'll keep in touch.

I have often wondered if they still today had the same format which was in place until 1992 when instead of 8 teams there were 12 teams and play-offs.
Before 1992 it was 8 teams with a round-robin and the top4 advancing to the medal-series and the bottom 4 in the relegation series.
Back in the day Finland only once managed to get to the top 4. That was in 1986. All other times there was a disappointment but never any real fear of relegation.
If that system was still in place today there would be desperate calls to expand the number of teams in the tournament.
Today we complain that 16 teams is too many.
Perhaps the truth lies in the middle. The decision to expand from 12 to 16 was a mistake.
Except that it wasn't. It is important for a sport which is not global like soccer, basketball etc to include as many teams as possible without having ridiculous results in the world championships.
Rugby is a much bigger sport than hockey but yet they also have an oversized world cup compared to how many competitive countries there are.

I did indeed put up roster pages for all Olympics (men's tournaments only at this time; working on women's). Also nearly finished country-specific rosters, which would have all players, tournaments played, and basic stats and medals. Ideally I'd like to clean up the Olympic-specific pages to be similar (stats and so on), but it is a lot of effort, and I got some other projects going on slowing it down even more.
