ith less than three months to go until the start of the Olympics, Team Canada has two tournaments left before it decides on the final roster for the men's event in South Korea.
The Channel One Cup is a three-game tournament in Moscow that runs from Dec. 13-17 and on Thursday Team Canada announced the roster it will bring there next month. This will serve as the second-last evaluation tournament before the final Olympic roster is set, with the last event coming later in December at the Spengler Cup in Switzerland.
"This has been a very busy few months of evaluation of Canadian hockey talent from around the world, and we are feeling very positive about where we're at in the process. We're looking forward to the Channel One Cup and seeing how this group of players comes together at the tournament," said Sean Burke, who is serving as GM for the Olympic process. "Our goal remains to put together the best possible team to compete in PyeongChang in February, and these 25 players are part of a larger group that remains under consideration."
Of the 25 players who will represent Canada at the Channel One Cup, goalie Barry Brust and forward Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau are the only players who haven't been invited to a previous tournament this year. Matt Frattin will be at the Channel One Cup after missing the Karjala Cup due to injury.
