Canada officially unveils men's hockey roster for Beijing Olympics
Canada’s men’s hockey roster for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics is officially set.
One day after the roster leaked on Twitter via an inadvertently timed tweet from the International Ice Hockey Federation account, Hockey Canada confirmed the leak was real with their official roster announcement on Tuesday.
Eric Staal has the biggest stature of the former NHLers to be named on the team, while young prospects like Owen Power and Mason McTavish, who starred at this year’s brief World Juniors tournament, will get a second shot to play for Canada.
