Veleno et al available to Canada as Drummondville was officially eliminated today.
 
I watched the Team Canada practice today.
Posted notes on the u18 world Championship Thread for those interested in feedback etc.

Where do you find that thread from the home page?

I'm incompetent at finding these threads!!!
 
If anyone knows how to bring it over to this thread please do. I too am incompetent!
 
Final roster is set.

Any insight on this team...is this a fast team...good hockey iq team...grinders...comibination...?

i really dont know these players well at all...seems as though they might be missing some players but overall seems like the best team since 2013? seems to be missing a few players?
 
Should be a really quick team, I don't see a player on this roster who is a poor skater. Even someone like Bahl who is probably the worst skater is 6'6 and he still moves really well laterally. Hopefully these guys play fast and use their speed to their advantage, should be quicker than most teams. At the Hlinka they had a really speedy team and all they did was get pucks in deep and out hustle the opponent's defenders to the puck. If they can do that here, then they'll give themselves a good chance at winning the Gold.
 
a good looking team. anything less than an appearance in the gold medal game would be a disappointment imo. too bad we couldn't get Woo and Groulx over there.

let's see just how much of a prodigy this Lafreniere kid is. I happened to see 1 game live...but other than a few shifts here and there, didn't catch him on his best day. So, hopefully he impresses.
 
No Veleno, Dudas or Rodrigue today. Must either not have landed yet or they are giving them time to adjust if they recently did.
