WC: Team Canada Roster Helsinki-Tampere 2022

[Gold Standard]

Disappointing about Suzuki but Batherson and Chabot is a great start. Credit to both of them, there is A team potential and each had an easy out after injuries. I'm feeling it this year. Curious about some of the Islanders players as well.

He did say it was due to injury. although not sure how severe the injury is...but whatever. He's got next year and a few years after that to make it up, MTL won't be a serious PO contender for a while.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Wonder if Drysdale will be invited.

Not a great year but he has experience playing for Canada and now has experience playing big mins against elite talent

 

[MatBarzal]

Morrissey declined to participate

Healthy enough to have played all 82 games this year, though I won't hold it against him. You're right that he should have ample opportunity in the short term.

I would hope so, very promising young defenceman and he could learn a bit from playing on a team with Chabot and hopefully some other quality defencemen.

Morrissey declined to participate

Would have liked Morrissey, it's been a while since he's been at the tournament and he was very good at the junior level.

 

[Pucklington]

To be fair, it would have been pretty shocking for Caufield to suit up for Canada at this tournament,

I always thought he was Canadian... lol

 

[JackSlater]

To be fair, his father is Canadian so he could easily have Canadian citizenship. Definitely an American player though and only eligible for USA.

I'm sure I've watched him suit up in the WJC too...

Doesn't mean I remember it... though. Lol

[bert]

I wonder if Formenton gets an invite he has represented canada at the jr level. Would be great to have his speed on the big ice.

 

[therealdeal]

Great start boys.

They will play on NHL size rink

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I wonder if that mutual decision has something to do with him having unfinished business this summer.

 

[MatBarzal]

Canada doesn't have a very rich selection of players this year. If the national team is not replenished with such hockey players as Barzal, McCann, Marchessault, Stone, Dubois, Theodore, then the team, like last year, will have problems already at the group stage.

Canada have many players to pick from , but when they need to pick very young and 3-4 liners then you will not win the worlds anymore, the other top 6-7 and even top 10 will have a chance when its not the best

They won last year.

Interesting, I still think he would be a good player to have he is an incredible pker would be good in a 4th line role.

Love to see him but he is a free agent I do believe so he isn't likely to go

Could very well be the U20's in August. He has been in so many places in the last calendar year - WC's, abbreviated U20's and Olympics all for Hockey Canada and of course both Michigan and Buffalo.

Bert we won when many magic tricks took place on the final 2 match days and when they figured out Power was our best d man. Extremely exciting event but we could really stand to have some more bonafide NHLers step up here to take some of the drama out of the round robin.

But you and I remember perfectly well that they did not come out of the group, but crawled out.

Who cares they won. No one asks how just how many.

he would skip practices tho because of hes minor injuries its nothing serious but just little bruises and this tournament aint that important neither
