The executive director of Team Canada, Steve Yzerman, announced today that he would reveal the 23-man Olympic roster on New Years Eve – one day before the American team is slated to announce their roster. In one hundred days from today, the Winter Games will begin in Vancouver.
Four players from the Blackhawks were invited to the orientation camp in August – Jonathan Toews, Patrick Sharp, Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook. It is very doubtful that all four will make the team, yet non-invitee Brian Campbell could play his way onto Team Canada.
For the new readers and those that have forgotten, Red Rising will follow Team Canada’s quest for another Olympic gold medal. The focus, however, will be on the performance of the Blackhawks that make the team.
In somewhat related news, Yzerman’s roster announcement will be made in the midst of the World Junior Championship. Defensive prospects Shawn Lalonde and Dylan Olsen are competing for a chance to make that team.
Exciting stuff, eh?
