If I'm not mistaken, Jordan LaVallee might be too old.

I thought Heshtmapour was Canadian he played his minor hockey in T.O and junior just outside T.O

am I wrong?

He's an '86 so he can be included.

He was born in the states and both his parents are American. I recently saw him listed as a dual-citizen which means he must have gotten Canadian citizenship at some point but I don't know how.

there was much debate that usa hockey did not choose enough chl players for last tournaments team.

There is?

The only "debate" was leaving Jack Johnson off.

 

[orangeandblack]

there were many "debates", but from some of the things ive read scouts felt players like byfuglien, lashoff, coleman, hennessey, ryan, fitzgerald, nickerson, etc would have helped the team out more then some of the players selected. dont you think there should have been at least 1 chl'er on the blueline, if not more?

of that list, only byufuglien and lashoff would have helped. Ryan will be there next year, Hennessey maybe could have been but offense wasn't the problem and he wasn't going to unseat either of the top two centers. Coleman and Nickerson would have been worse than what we had.

 

[Senor Rational]

I think Fitzgerald wouldve been perfect for the USA blueline. He is a steady rock solid defensive defensemen who hits with authority. WHL Seatle Thunderbird fans can tell you more....
