US announces theirs in November, I believe. One guy who I'm looking forward to seeing, should he make it, is Oliver Wahlstrom of Shattuck-Saint Mary's, viewed as an elite offensive talent for the 2018 NHL Draft.

No Minnesota players as tournament overlaps with MNHS hockey tournament. Interesting to see no Bode Wilde. Wonder if he ends up on Team Canada roster.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. I will dig up Hockey Canada's rules for picking the team. Last time around they had a fairly specific way of doing it on a regional basis.

I was wondering whether this counts as an IIHF tournament for the purpose of determining national eligibility. It looks like it qualifies as an IIHF competition.

edit - i did not see anything about the 2016 competition, but here is how HC selected for the 2012 competition:

Canada's players were assembled from nominations from Hockey Canada's 13 Branches to form a long list. The roster was then selected via a random draw from this long list, with at least one player from each of Hockey Canada's 13 Branches, to form the 17-player roster. Each branch submitted three players to the nomination list: a goaltender, defenceman and forward.

In addition to one player from each branch, Canada's entry includes two from BC Hockey, Hockey Alberta, Hockey Quebec and the Ontario Hockey Federation, the most populous branches. Canada's Youth Olympic roster consists of two goaltenders, six defencemen and nine forwards.

The IIHF Bylaws say this:

406. Player Eligibility Rules for Participation in IIHF Championships and Olympic Competitions
It is the objective of the IIHF that national teams competing in IIHF championships shall reflect the status and standard of the sport as
currently played by both citizens of and citizens in the country concerned and to protect the integrity of international competition.
1. Only players meeting the following qualification requirements can participate in the IIHF Championships, the Olympic Competition and
in the qualifications to these Competitions:
1.1 Each player must be under the jurisdiction of a Member National Association of the IIHF and be a citizen of the country he
represents. The player must properly complete and sign the IIHF Player Entry Form which must also be completed and
countersigned by his Member National Association which shall at all times be responsible for the player’s eligibility.
1.2 The player must submit (a) his signed Player Entry Form and (b) his national passport which is valid for the duration of the event
and which must confirm that he is a citizen of the country he represents.
1.3 Once a player has represented a country in any IIHF championship, or in the Olympic competition or in the qualification to these
competitions he will not be eligible to represent another country excepting that he may apply to the IIHF to represent another
country provided that
a) he is a citizen of that country;
b) he has an international transfer that was approved by the IIHF and dated at least four years before the start of the IIHF
competition in which he wishes to participate;
52/89 May 2014
c) he has participated, on a consistent basis, for at least four consecutive years (1460 days) in the national competitions of his
new country during which period he has neither transferred to another country nor played ice hockey for a team
registered/located within any other country: and
d) he has not played for his previous country in an IIHF competition either during this four year period or between completion of
this four-year period and the start of the IIHF championship he wishes to compete.


...

1.7 When a player has multiple citizenships where the relevant citizenships are for countries of Member National Associations and he
has never represented any country in any IIHF championship or an Olympic competition or in qualifications to these competitions,
then in order to play for the country of his choice he must:
a) prove that he has participated on a consistent basis, for at least two consecutive hockey seasons and 16 consecutive months
(480 days) after his 10th birthday in the national competitions of and having resided in the country that he wishes to represent
during which period he has neither transferred to another country nor played ice hockey for a team registered/located within
any other country; and
b) if the country of his choice is one to which the player has transferred then he must have had an international transfer that was
approved by the IIHF and dated at least 16 months (480 days) prior to his proposed participation.

I didn't see anything in the bylaws that actually defines what qualifies as an IIHF championship...does the youth olympics count? This section, referring to protection of championships, refers to U18, U20, and Sr.:

505. Protection of IIHF Championships
No other high profile games of Member National Associations shall be played in the hosting country during the IIHF Ice Hockey World
Championship.
During the period when a country participates in an IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship or qualification - seniors, juniors under 20,
juniors under 18, men or women, no other national team of the same category of that country shall participate in other international games
or competitions.

So it might be that you actually have to have played at U18 :dunno:

The section on the junior men's program (section 800) groups in Youth Olympics with U18, and U20.

In any event, I don't have time right now to keep reading. You can go through the IIHF regs and see if you can figure it out .
 
Under the Walman rule, would Wilde even be eligible for Canada? Don't you have to play 2 full seasons in a country after the age of 13? Not sure on the specifics of the rule.

Yes, he's from Montreal.

Does anyone know why he moved from Honeybaked to Chicago Mission?

I think the rule is 1.7 in the excerpt I quoted above. It's two seasons after the age of 10, not 13. When did he move to the States?
 
Youth olympics

With team USA being named who are any of the Canadian kids likely to be named?
