The U.S. Men's Olympic Hockey camp invitees were announced today, starting months of speculation about who will make the final roster, how the team will perform, and if the U.S. stands a chance at a medal.
Here's the details per James Mirtle.
"USA Hockey today announced that 34 players, representing 22 National Hockey League teams, have been invited to the U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Orientation Camp from Aug. 17-19, at Seven Bridges Ice Arena in Woodridge, Ill."
"Goal: Ryan Miller, Jonathan Quick, Tim Thomas
Defence: Tom Gilbert, Tim Gleason, Ron Hainsey, Erik Johnson, Jack Johnson, Mike Komisarek, Paul Martin, Brooks Orpik, Brian Rafalski, Robert Scuderi, Ryan Suter, Ryan Whitney
Forwards: David Backes, David Booth, Dustin Brown, Dustin Byfuglien, Ryan Callahan, Chris Drury, Scott Gomez, Patrick Kane, Ryan Kesler, Phil Kessel, Jamie Langenbrunner, Ryan Malone, Mike Modano, Kyle Okposo, T.J. Oshie, Zach Parise, Joe Pavelski, Bobby Ryan, Paul Stastny"
No Caps on the roster, but if you're not looking to support the red, white and blue and are looking for a Capitals connection, look no farther than team Sweden, Russia and Canada. Mike Green, Alex Ovechkin, Alex Semin and Nicklas Backstrom are locks for their respective national teams.
Thanks to From The Rink for passing along the info and U-S-A!
