Hockey Canada Announces 2025 WJC Roster

December 13, 2024 at 4:30 pm CDT | by Brennan McClain 7 Comments

Dec. 13: Canada has confirmed its roster for the tournament. Among the cuts were Ratzlaff, Allen, Brunicke (injured), Barkey, Cristall, Heidt, and Wood. Players like Sennecke and the Flames’ Zayne Parekh, who were added mid-camp due to injuries, were left off the final roster.

Dec. 2: Team Canada will look to rebound in a major way at this year’s IIHF World Junior Championship in Ottawa. The Canadian U20 failed to medal for the first time since 2019 in last year’s event and they’ll now look to rediscover their magic back on home ice.

Hockey Canada announced their 32-man preliminary roster earlier today and will have to cut seven players before the tournament begins. The 2025 World Junior Championship will run from December 26, 2024, to January 5, 2025. Team Canada will play in Group A alongside Germany, Finland, Latvia, and the United States.

One notable name left off this year’s roster is the recent third-overall pick of the 2024 NHL Draft, Beckett Sennecke. It’s uncommon to see such a high draft pick left of his country’s roster, especially considering Sennecke hasn’t aged out and wouldn’t have to be loaned from his NHL club.

There are still numerous exciting names up for consideration. Team Canada’s preliminary roster is as follows:

F Denver Barkey (Flyers, 2023, 95th overall)
F Cole Beaudoin (Utah, 2024, 24th overall)
F Mathieu Cataford (Golden Knights, 2023, 77th overall)
F Berkly Catton (Kraken, 2024, 8th overall)
F Easton Cowan (Maple Leafs, 2023, 28th overall)
F Andrew Cristall (Capitals, 2023, 40th overall)
F Ethan Gauthier (Lightning, 2023, 37th overall)
F Riley Heidt (Wild, 2023, 64th overall)
F Tanner Howe (Penguins, 2024, 46th overall)
F Jett Luchanko (Flyers, 2024, 13th overall)
F Porter Martone (2025 draft-eligible)
F Gavin McKenna (2026 draft-eligible)
F Bradly Nadeau (Hurricanes, 2023, 30th overall)
F Luca Pinelli (Blue Jackets, 2023, 114th overall)
F Carson Rehkopf (Kraken, 2023, 50th overall)
F Calum Ritchie (Avalanche, 2023, 27th overall)
F Matthew Wood (Predators, 2023, 15th overall)
F Brayden Yager (Jets, 2023, 14th overall)*

D Cameron Allen (Capitals, 2023, 136th overall)
D Beau Akey (Oilers, 2023, 56th overall)
D Oliver Bonk (Flyers, 2023, 22nd overall)
D Harrison Brunicke (Penguins, 2024, 44th overall)
D Sam Dickinson (Sharks, 2024, 11th overall)
D Andrew Gibson (Predators, 2023, 42nd overall)**
D Tanner Molendyk (Predators, 2023, 24th overall)
D Sawyer Mynio (Canucks, 2023, 89th overall)
D Caden Price (Kraken, 2023, 84th overall)
D Matthew Schaefer (2025 draft-eligible)

G Carson Bjarnason (Flyers, 2023, 51st overall)
G Carter George (Kings, 2024, 57th overall)
G Jack Ivankovic (2025 draft-eligible)
G Scott Ratzlaff (Sabres, 2023, 141st overall)

* Yager was originally drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2023
** Gibson was originally drafted by the Detroit Red Wings in 2023

    They didn’t take any of the high Canadian picks from this year’s draft. Older team for sure.

    It is a weird roster. No Parekh? Hopefully this isn’t the same management that picked last year

    From all accounts I have seen Parekh has some attitude/off ice issues and with Hockey Canada’s recent past they’re just gonna keep any potential off ice stuff away for now.
