Potential 2018 Olympic Roster for Team Canada

July 28, 2017 at 6:48 pm CDT | by Mike Furlano Leave a Comment

Hockey Canada released its roster for two upcoming international tournaments, and stated that the 2018 Men’s Canadian olympic hockey team roster will draw primarily from these two teams. The roster announcement comes on the heels of the announcement that Sean Burke and Willie Desjardins will serve as the team’s General Manager and Head Coach, respectively.

Those tournaments—the 2017 Sochi Hockey Open and the 2017 Tournament of Nikolai Puchkov—will be the stage for informal Team Canada olympic tryouts. Hockey Canada is using these tournaments as an opportunity to scout 46 different players it considers having a chance to join Team Canada in South Korea.

The full rosters are below, but notably standouts include former NHLers Derek Roy, Carlo Colaiacovo, Maxime Talbot, Mason Raymond, Kevin Klein, and Ben Scrivens. Most players listed currently play hockey in Europe.

Sochi Hockey Open Roster

Forwards
Justin Azevedo, Gilbert Brulé, Brandon Buck, Kevin Clark, Andrew Ebbett, Bud Holloway, Rob Klinkhammer, Brandon Kozun, Ben Maxwell, Brandon McMillan, Eric O’Dell, Daniel Paille, Mason Raymond, Maxime Talbot, Linden Vey

Defense
Chay Genoway, Geoff Kinrade, Patrick McNeill, Maxim Noreau, Mat Robinson, Jonathan Sigalet, Karl Stollery

Goaltenders
Justin Peters, Kevin Poulin

Tournament of Nikolai Puchkov Roster

Forwards
Taylor Beck, Sean Collins, Cory Emmerton, Ryan Garbutt, Andrew Gordon, David McIntyre, Jacob Micflikier, Trevor Parkes, Marc-Antoine Pouliot, Derek Roy, Greg Scott, Paul Szczechura, James Wright

Defense
Cam Barker, Carlo Colaiacovo, Stefan Elliott, Marc-Andre Gragnani, Kevin Klein, Shawn Lalonde, Craig Schira

Goaltenders
Kevin Poulin, Ben Scrivens

It is likely that the majority of Team Canada will draw from these two rosters, but Hockey Canada has indicated that it is looking at all options. That included potential non-signing UFAs like Shane Doan and Jarome Iginla, as well as standout junior players if the situation warrants. It also includes players on AHL-only contracts.
