Multiple Team Canada Teams (again)

I know that this is somewhat flogging a dead horse, but I always see people making 1A, 1B and 1C rosters. It's very apparent that the depth is the strength. I also think that there is enough high end talent to have 9 lines and 6 d-pairings that rival most other international teams.

I have split them using OHL, QMJHL and WHL regions. Not super strict, just used as a baseline.

OHL

Hyman - McDavid - Marner
Stamkos - Scheifele - Johnston
Verhaege - Bennett - Konecny
Byfield - Cirelli - O'Reilly
Kyrou - Thomas - Horvat
Crouse - Tavares - Fantilli

Weegar - Hamilton
Power - Tanev
Pelech - Ekblad
Nurse - Doughty
Pietrangelo - Clarke

Binnington
Talbot
Blackwood

QMJHL

Lafreniere - Crosby - Marchesault
Marchand - MacKinnon - Batherson
Huberdeau - Giroux - Drouin
Mantha - Couturier - PLD
Killorn - Dannault - Bourque

Chabot - Letang
Girard - Dobson
Matheson - Savard
Lauzon - Vlasic

MAF
Montembeau
Pickard

WHL

Reinhart - Point - Hagel
Barzal - Jarvis - Stone
Stankoven - Bedard - Celebrini
Eberle - Cozens - Guenther
Debrusk - Schenn - Gallagher

Toews - Makar
Theodore - Parayko
Sanheim - Harley
Rielly - Pulock

Thompson
Kuemper
Hill

The Q is obviously the weakest of the 3 teams, but have game breakers at the top end. They are also very old.

The W is the youngest team with the strongest defense.

The O is just strong and deep.

IMO, Ontario and the West would both still be contenders. The Quebec team still wouldn't surprise me if they medaled.On paper, they would be stronger than the Czechs, Slovakia, Germany and Switzerland.

It is. That's including the Maritime provinces as well. Most of that Ontario team is from the Greater Toronto area. The West has a lot of guys from Calgary and Vacouver area.

Just more proof that it's transitioning from farm boys to yuppies in this country.

Stronger than Czechs and Switzerland? I dont think so

On paper I think so. They are both very top heavy teams

For reference, this is a team made up entirely of players from the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) This doesn't even include bedroom and commuter communities. Only the city proper and suburbs.

Hyman - McDavid - Marner
Kyrou - Thomas - Kyrou
Verhaege - Bennett - Byfield
Perfetti - Cirelli - Fantilly
D. Strome - Monahan - Stamkos
Toffoli - Tavares - Wilson

Durzi - Hamilton
Power - Pietrangelo
Pelech - Tanev
Drysdale - Raddysh

Binnington
Wedgewood
Martin

Toronto alone would be considered a contender IMO. You could argue that with a population of around 7 million, this would make sense. That said, approximately half of the GTA was born outside of Canada. This leads me to believe that it's the relative affluence of the native Canadians in the area which lends to it.
