LOL. Hockey Canada and their collection of idiot bureaucrats pretending to be hockey experts don't win much at all since 2010. That's when a few of these idiots were hired. The only tournaments Canada wins on a consistent basis are the ones where NHL execs are in charge. U20, U18 and U17....not much winning there.

Well this came out yesterday: https://www.hockeycanada.ca/en-ca/news/2017-wu18c-first-group-selected-for-u18-worlds

Basically says so far they are inviting: Anderson-Dolan, Comtois, Mattheos, Mitchell, Ratcliffe, Scott to the roster. And it also says Dellandrea, MacDonald, McBain, Merkley, Ty Smith, Thomas to the pre-tournament camp for "experience", but I assume they can battle for spots on the roster.

Joining the early roster announced on April 4 are goaltenders Alexis Gravel (Asbestos, Que./Halifax, QMJHL) and Jacob McGrath (Mississauga, Ont./Sudbury, OHL); defencemen Josh Brook (Roblin, Man./Moose Jaw, WHL), Jocktan Chainey (Asbestos, Que./Halifax, QMJHL), Jared McIsaac (Truro, N.S./Halifax, QMJHL) and Jett Woo (Winnipeg/Moose Jaw, WHL); and forwards MacKenzie Entwistle (Georgetown, Ont./Hamilton, OHL), Liam Hawel (Arnprior, Ont./Guelph, OHL), Kyle Olson (Calgary/Tri-City, WHL), Nate Schnarr (Waterloo, Ont./Guelph, OHL) and Matthew Strome (Mississauga, Ont./Hamilton, OHL).

No qualms about taking a 3rd goalie just for the experience factor.

but JOCKTAN CHAINEY JETT WOO and LIAM HAWEL? I suppose after the Hlinka debacle last summer Hockey Canada should be casting a wide net, looking at all their options...but good grief.

And not pleased about having to put up with another Strome. but I guess we have to. maybe 3rd time is the charm.

Kyle Olson I like.

Chainey has turned in to a stud for the Mooseheads, I think he'll surprise people. McIsaac and Gravel are obviously great as well.

Jocktan Chainey is a great option for this team, had he been healthy at the Hlinka, I fully expect he would have been on that team.

I don't see him having much of an impact, but maybe he'll surprise me. I hope he does.

SSM is up 2-0 on OS. A quick exit can hopefully bring Suzuki, Phillips and Struthers. Otherwise, the team doesn't look too bad, no real superstar so far. Anderson-Dolan, Comtois, and Mattheos will have to lead the team offensively. There's no Tyson Jost on this team, but some good role players like Olson, Schnarr, Entwhistle. Defence is meh, Mitchell is the top defenceman on the team. We'll see if underagers step up. This team isn't as good as last years IMO. Could use someone like Tippett, Morand, or Suzuki to take the offence to another level.

I suppose after the Hlinka debacle last summer

They lost one game by one goal for crying out loud. After winning 8 straight Gold.
