Olympics: Team USA 2022

[LeafChief]

Will the US look to bring some NCAA players? I think they brought Greenway last time this happened.

 

[Bonin21]

I don't think the colleges will want the kids to go so they should just not ask.

 

[Northerner]

I'd be fine if the hockey was cancelled all together.

Uhh, why? Why take the ball and go home?

Greenway, Donato (from Harvard) and there were a couple more ncaa guys, mixed with khl and some others.

Uhh, why? Why take the ball and go home?

Because I don't like the idea of last minute replacement teams because the good players can't go. We're basically entering the territory of having a tournament for the sake of it, not for the quality.

 

[Northerner]

Send all non-pros - make it all amateur only, for all nations.

I wish I could tackle this subject with you, but I can't. Anytihng I say on it will just get shut down.

Elite Prospects - SHL Stats 2021-2022

Some pretty good americans in SHL.

Ebert, Mckiernan, Mann, Lasch and Camper is among the best in the entire league.

 

[William H Bonney]

With the NHL personnel we previously announced as part of our management team and coaching staff no longer available, we’ll shortly be announcing new people to fill those roles. Further, we expect to name our final roster by mid-January.

NHL Announces Decision To Not Participate In The 2022 Olympic Winter Games

Will be interesting to see to what extent NCAA and AHL players are made available. Chris Peters has mentioned that David Quinn will likely be the new head coach.

 

[HaveKnifeWillButcher]

If AHL players are made available, Dustin Wolf should be one of the goalies.

 

[NUhockey]

I wonder how much consideration guys like Zac Jones and Reilly Walsh are getting. Knowing USA Hockey it’s probably not enough but who knows.

I'm sure they'll get a ton of consideration if AHLers under NHL contract are allowed to participate.

I hope so and two of the best players for them was Greenway and Donato.


I would send a lot of WJC 2022 roster with a Brian Gionta Matt Gilroy type player who can give them some experience

 

[William H Bonney]

Looks like USAH learned its lesson from 2018 when it didn't invite nearly enough NCAA players. Heavy NCAA roster already and I imagine we'll see more. Who are some other NCAA guys you might expect to be in contention?

I'm interested to see what other NCAA defenseman get in the mix. Attard? Lohrei? Johnson?

Mike Hastings (Crookston, Minn.), head men’s ice hockey coach at Minnesota State University; Brett Larson (Duluth, Minn.), head men’s ice hockey coach at St. Cloud State University; Scott Young (Clinton, Mass.), a member of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame and current director of player development for the Pittsburgh Penguins, David Lassonde (Durham, N.H.), national goaltending coach for USA Hockey, and Alex Dawes (Utica, N.Y.), video coach at Penn State University, will join head coach David Quinn (Cranston, R.I.) in guiding the the 2022 U.S. Olympic Men’s Ice Hockey Team it was announced today by USA Hockey.

Take Kaiser/Perbix/Peart/Morrow over Johnson. He hasn't been terribly impressive this year. I also think they'll respect the damage to the college teams enough to try to only take 3 or fewer from each one.

Wolf would be a god send. It doesn't look like AHL players are eligible though-right? I'm a little murky on that.

Aaron Ness is going cuz he's not on an NHL contract. So don't expect Wolf.

That's what I thought. He signed his one year deal with Providence.

 

[Canucks LB]

 

[Rabid Ranger]

It would have been well-deserved. The way I see it the U.S. had five strong candidates this year:

* Hellebucyk (likely starter)
* Gibson (likely back-up)
* Campbell
* Demko
* Quick

 

[kilowatt]

Wild ride for some of these kids, not even two weeks out from missing the WJC and now they'll be Olympians. Excited to see guys like Sanderson, Faber, Helleson, Beniers, and Knies.

[Eye of Ra]

foolish to not invite ryan lasch

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

It’s also looking likely that Eichel would’ve been ready. I don’t know why so many counted him out.
