The 39-year-old played in the NHL from 2000 to 2015 for the Los Angeles Kings, Edmonton Oilers, Anaheim Ducks and the New York Islanders but had to battle with back problems recently. He signed with Slovan Bratislava for this season and played 13 games notching ten points. The 39-year-old became World Champion with Slovakia in 2002, represented his country in four Olympic Winter Games and ten World Championships. In the NHL Visnovsky appeared in 883 NHL games registering 128 goals and 495 points. During the 2010/11 season he led all NHL defencemen in scoring with 68 points. Visnovsky had his debut in professional ice hockey where his career ended, at Slovak Bratislava where he played in the top Slovak league as an 18-year-old six years before moving to the NHL. During his junior years he also managed to play at U20 World Championships at three levels right after the country’s independence from the C-Pool in 1994 to the top-level World Juniors in Boston in 1996.

These 16 players all excel in their compete level, overall skill and selflessness, which will be key components of our team."

"Our management group wanted to balance respecting the contributors to past Team Canada successes, as well as respecting the players that have emerged as top players in the NHL. We will use the NHL playoffs and the upcoming World Championship to make the final roster decisions in early June.” There’s no lack of success among the first 16 players selected; in addition to 12 players who won gold at the Olympic Winter Games, and 11 who won gold at the IIHF World Junior Championship, the team boasts seven NHL team captains and eight Stanley Cup champions, five of whom are multi-time champions.

1 minute ago, Agger said:Really makes me happy to see this many danes on team Europe. But it will be hard for them. Barely any from the same teams and only Slovakia and Denmark have a decent numbers of players.I was sure to see at least 4-5 Danes in the team, There were absolutely no doubts about Andersen, he will be the goalie number 1 for sure, also Hansen and Boedker were a certitude who know this team can do something in this tournament, but still it´s a bit weird to see this team europe instead of normal national teams. IMO some countries could be allowed to play at least such qualification tournament or something. it would be a better solution, but well ...NHL and their money...

TEAM EUROPE Preliminary Roster The initial 16 names for the roster of Team Europe, comprised of players from outside the other European nations competing in the World Cup, was released. “It’s exciting to be a part of it,” said Swiss defenceman Roman Josi. “It’s a special situation with Team Europe…I think it’s going to be a lot of fun and I think we’re going to have a good team.” Team Europe will not only be a mix of nations but also young and old. Along with experienced veterans like blueliners Zdeno Chara and Mark Streit, the team also named up and coming superstars including Swiss defenceman Roman Josi and talented German forward Leon Draisatl. Goaltenders: Frederik Andersen, Anaheim Ducks, USA, NHL Jaroslav Halak, New York Islanders, USA, NHL Defencemen: Zdeno Chara, Boston Bruins, USA, NHL Roman Josi, Nashville Predators, USA, NHL Dennis Seidenberg, Boston Bruins, USA, NHL Andrej Sekera, Edmonton Oilers, CAN, NHL Mark Streit, Philadelphia Flyers, USA, NHL Forwards: Mikkel Boedker, Colorado Avalanche, USA, NHL Leon Draisaitl, Edmonton Oilers, CAN, NHL Jannick Hansen, Vancouver Canucks, CAN, NHL Marian Hossa, Chicago Blackhawks, USA, NHL Anze Kopitar, Los Angeles Kings, USA, NHL Frans Nielsen, New York Islanders, USA, NHL Tomas Tatar, Detroit Red Wings, USA, NHL Thomas Vanek, Minnesota Wild, USA, NHL Mats Zuccarello Aasen, New York Rangers, USA, NHL Head Coach: Ralph Krueger

it was a very interesting february for SVK tennis all started by a expected flop with Australia in the fed cup. but a week later came the bomb and mr unpredictable winning a ATP 500 tournament and 3 days later he lost in 1st round in Dubaiand everything concluded by a very interesting performance of Dominika Cibulková, pitty Domi wasn´t so far to win the acapulco WTA at all..

soon, soon, patience my friend, patience it´s one of my priorities for the next days.

TEAM SWEDEN Preliminary Roster As last of the four European countries Sweden made the announcement – far away from home in New York, the city of Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist. With the naming of the first 16 players, the Swedish Ice Hockey Association put emphasis on defence with two goaltenders and six defencemen named while there is more room left on offence for the final roster with eight forwards who were selected today. With over 80 players who appeared in NHL games this season, the choice was more difficult than for any other European nation for the Swedes with depth for any position. Lundqvist is the netminder with fourth-most wins, third-most ice time and one of the best save percentages among starting goalies in the league. The Senators’ Erik Karlsson is the top scorer among defencemen, third overall in the league and first in time on ice, the Capitals’ Nicklas Backstrom is ninth in scoring among forwards and Nashville’s Filip Forsberg is tenth in goal scoring with fellow countryman Daniel Sedin close behind. Goaltenders: Henrik Lundqvist, New York Rangers, USA, NHL Jacob Markstrom, Vancouver Canucks, CAN, NHL Defencemen: Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Arizona Coyotes, USA, NHL Victor Hedman, Tampa Bay Lightning, USA, NHL Niklas Hjalmarsson, Chicago Blackhawks, USA, NHL Erik Karlsson, Ottawa Senators, CAN, NHL Niklas Kronwall, Detroit Red Wings, USA, NHL Anton Stralman, Tampa Bay Lightning, USA, NHL Forwards: Nicklas Backstrom, Washington Capitals, USA, NHL Loui Eriksson, Boston Bruins, USA, NHL Filip Forsberg, Nashville Predators, USA, NHL Gabriel Landeskog, Colorado Avalanche, USA, NHL Daniel Sedin, Vancouver Canucks, CAN, NHL Henrik Sedin, Vancouver Canucks, CAN, NHL Alexander Steen, St. Louis Blues, USA, NHL Henrik Zetterberg, Detroit Red Wings, USA, NHL Head Coach: Rikard Gronborg

Well, the other groups are much more balanced, especially the last one with Norway, Kazakhstan and France.and Italy also shown some very optimistic moments during the last qualifier round with a "new" and fresh team, they have chance to do something for sure, Norway has a good team and play a very physical and for each opponent a very unpleasant hockey. The whole Kazakhstan team is composed by experienced players of one kazakhstans KHL club Barys Astana, but I´ll put France, because the Hockey is improving incredibly in France during last couple of years, I have a lot of respect for this french team and the way how their federation is going and working since they left the corrupt and incompetent french Ice sports federation (which included also speed skating, figure skating etc..) coach Dave Henderson has an amazing sense of coaching and don´t forget that they play in fact always with the same squad, this is also a great advantage. for the Latvian group, it´s almost sure that the quota will be played between Latvia and Germany. Germany has a strong generation of players and want return to the olympics after the flop in the Sochi qualification tournament, but Latvia usually over perform at home, so because of it I´ll bet on Latvia. so for me the last 3 quotas will be for FRA, LAT and DEN.
