Maybe Team Sweden will give the remaining places in the roster to players from KHL/SHL? I mean i'm sure you could use a guy like Linus Omark from Ufa.

 

For sure. Omark will be there certainly. From what I know, they are still waiting for the answer of Calle Järnkrok from Nashville, but this should be all from NHL, the remaining places will be fullfiled by european based players

Sweden - Russia  6-4 

(Played as part of the Euro Hockey Tour 2018/19)

 

[hckošice 15,520]

and Canada today announced the name of their last 23. player for their preliminary Round roster.

 

The Pittsburgh Penguins forward Jared McCann has been added to the team.

 

So Canada is right now after the second team to unveil their full team for the preliminary round, remember each team can have a max 23 players during the preliminary round (including 3 Goalies) every team will be allowed to add 2 more players for the knockout round (only field players).

 

Before the first match of the worlds the 16 teams must name at At the first Directorate meeting at least the minimum number of 15 skaters and 2 goalkeepers. The players entered must be present at the championship venue by the time of the Directorate meeting.

 

The remaining players up to the allowed maximum of 22 + 3 (for the Preliminary Round) must be submitted for players' control always maximum two hours before any of the following championship games of the team. Players can be added throughout the tournament until the roster is full.

 

 

All rosters will be updated in the second post of this thread in the 1st page

[hckošice 15,520]

So Canadian roster for the preliminary round has just been completed. The coach Alex Vigneault will have as expected a full NHL players team, with John Tavares being arguably the biggest star of the team, Tavares who scored 47 goals this NHL regular season (3rd best goal scorer of the NHL regular season).

 

Interesting facts in this Canadian roster, the age average is 24 years and the team is including 7 players with experiences from the IIHF seniors World Championships.

 

In other side, 4 players will experience their absolute debut for team Canada, they never played for their country even at youth categories (the defencers Brandon Montour and Troy Stecher + the forwards Tyler Bertuzzi and Jonathan Marchessault as well)

 

logically for the first time ever they will play on the european sized rinks (will be interesting to see how they will do) + remember Canada will play in the Košice group, our ice rink is the widest and largest in the country (familiarly called "Letisko" = Airport)
