Canadian Olympic men's hockey power rankings: First impressions
CBC
Now that we know the NHL will be heading to Beijing to compete at the Olympics, sports talk in this country will centre around picking Team Canada.
And with the NHL season set to start Oct. 12, players are essentially auditioning for a spot and the prospective roster will change on a regular basis.
Between now and the team announcement, Rob Pizzo will offer the many versions of his Team Canada, as well as some players who are doing their best to get GM Doug Armstrong and coach Jon Cooper to notice them. Teams can dress 13 forwards, seven defencemen and two goalies (plus an extra player at each position).
