Canadian Olympic men's hockey power rankings: Players raising eyebrows
CBC
Now that we know NHLers will be heading to Beijing to compete at the 2022 Winter Olympics, sports talk in this country will centre around picking Team Canada.
Keeping in mind the NHL season is active, players are essentially auditioning for a spot, and the predicted rosters will essentially change on a regular basis.
Between now and the team announcement, I will be providing you with his ongoing versions of Team Canada, as well as some players who are doing their best to get GM Doug Armstrong's attention.
Although there is plenty of hockey left to play before the team announcement is officially made, we figure ... why wait!
Teams can dress 13 forwards, seven defencemen and two goalies (plus an extra player at each position).
The season is just over a week old and let's face facts, that is nowhere near enough hockey for someone to play themselves on or off my team.
However, that's not to say some players didn't raise my eyebrows (in a good AND bad way!)
First things first, here is my team as it stands right now.
(Reminder: Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby and Alex Pietrangelo have officially been named to the team)
