Veikka Hahl - Roni Hirvonen - Oliver Suni
Valtteri Karnaranta - Joel Määttä - Veeti Korkalainen
Iivari Säkkinen - Jesse Seppälä - Juuso Mäenpää

Go Holtz and Raymond!

They are going to absolutely shred this tournament.

Really impressed with them at the Hlinka.

Czech team: Sedmnáctka se chystá na neoficiální MS! Beran vezme i Malíka s Novákem | Hokej.cz - web českého hokeje (plus Jan Mysak)

Two amazing goaltenders, elite talents Mysak and Novak, a couple of decent offensive defensemen and some good forward depth in Konecny, Chlubna and Gut. I don't expect much, certainly not a medal, but if the difference makers bring their A game you never know.
I wish '03 born Mensik and Brabenec were given a look, in my opinion the top players from the U16.

 

[Whalers Fan]

I think USA Hockey is simply sending the U17 NTDP team to the tournament.

I think USA Hockey is simply sending the U17 NTDP team to the tournament.

Thats what they always do lol.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Thats what they always do lol.

Doesn't look anything like the caliber of team from last year. Could contend for the title, but they won't be the big favorites.

 

[VictorLustig]

Go Holtz and Raymond!

Look out for Zion Nybeck as well, he will be a stand out for sure. Mateuz Szurowski is a bit of a joker among forwards, he's got a lot of tools but hasn't played at the J20 level yet, curious to see how he looks. This forward group is way deeper than last year.

Some interesting D-men as well. Smallish Anton Johannesson will likely be the guy quarterbacking the PP, great skater and puck mover. Theo Nordlund should log a lot of minutes, also really good on his skates but won't bring much offense. Helge Grans i obviously an interesting prospect since he already made his SHL debut, really curious to see how he looks as I haven't seen him much.

 

[felixpettersson]

Is Theodor Niederbach injured? For sure he would be one of the top players for Sweden, no?

 

[JimboA]

I asked this question in the Sweden sub-forum a couple of weeks ago, and yes, he is unfortunately injured. Something with the knee that will keep him out for months.

He is unfortunately injured, haven't played any games this season.

I don't think I've seen seen him in a lineup the last ~3 weeks, but they obviously selected him for the tournament so hopefully he's good to go...

 

[Deif]

Is there any way to watch these games?

 

[Get North]

Canada Red and White look quite a bit stronger than Black, but we'll see how the tournament goes.

Canada Red and White look quite a bit stronger than Black, but we'll see how the tournament goes.

Team Black has Lawrence, Foudy, Byfield, Cuylle up front, and Drysdale/O'Rourke on the back end. Looks very strong to me.

Why no Slovak team?

Yeah when I looked at the rosters I thought black looked pretty strong. Obviously being a fan and not a scout or anyone really in the community I have very very very limited knowledge of all the players but Black didn’t seem like the weakest.

 

[Boonk]

Why no Slovak team?

Slovakia hasnt been at the U17s for a while and for good reason

Good to see Chayka and Bakanov there.

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

When Finland has first game in U17 challenge?

 

[SpoolCat]

Is Hendrix Lapierre not on any of the teams. He's the first overall pick for the QMJHL and was having a good start.
