No Hage? Well kinda expected, since he never been on any team canada before so..
I think he'll be considered but I don't know that he can take someone's spot, at first I thought definitely considering his strong start but there's a lot of depth there. And I did obviously forget about McKenna completely and he'll be in the mix

Can honestly say I’ve never heard “wagon” used this way. Is this like a station wagon or a hitch your horse to wagon?

Canada has no competition other than the US.

Sweden and Finland youth programs have taken a step back.

Russia is not there. Not saying Russia would definitely beat Canada but this group led by Demidov, Artamonov, Silayev could give them a run for their money

One day Sweden is going to surprise and win. I think.

I know it's kind of gold or bust every year and last year was very much bust but was thinking about what their roster might be and I feel like it's unusually strong if all available

Catton-Yager-Sennecke
Cowan-Lindstrom-Wood
Barlow-Iginla-Greentree
Cristall-Boisvert-Luchanko (likely imo)
Rehkopf, Letourneau, Hage, Heidt, Parascak, Martone, Misa...

Dickinson-Yakemchuk
Molendyk-Parekh
Bonk-Brunicke
Danford, Akey...

Not sure on the goalies but feel like that will be tough to beat

Is that radek bonk's kid?

Who is Hage going to bump off this team right now? Next year is probably his year.


You are just blatantly ignorant if you think Cataford is worse then every single player listed above.
I was preparing to laugh at you. Then I took a look at the roster again... Yeah, that's a deep roster and most guys have similar/higher pedigree and are older. Hage has had a good start, but playing in the US probably works against him here.

I think you could make an argument for the Q players, but I don't think any of them should be any type of sure thing to make it. They are competing for spots at the bottom of the roster, and they shouldn't get in just to have a player from Quebec. Maybe they earn it and maybe someone else does.

I was looking up potential player for team USA and there is just no chance we win. Canada has a way better roster.

Sweden won’t have a bad team at all.

ASP, Willander, Frondell, Eklund, Stenberg, Edstrom, etc.

I like this team a lot. Finland is nearly demotion level.
