Former Fighting Sioux star Zach Parise and current New Jersey Devils player Zach Parise was added to team USA.
When the U.S. competes in the upcoming International Ice Hockey World Championships in Halifax and Quebec City next month, the roster will have a decidedly Minnesotan-flavour to it.
According to the Star Tribune, former Fighting Sioux Zach Parise and former Minnesota Golden Gopher Paul Martin, both of the New Jersey Devils and both natives of the state of Minnesota, have been added to the national team roster.
They will join other Minnesotans and former WCHA players; Tom Gilbert (Wisconsin Badges/Edmonton Oilers); Keith Ballard (Minnesota Golden Gophers/Phoenix Coyotes); David Backes (MSU-M Mavericks/St. Louis Blues); and Peter Mueller (Phoenix Coyotes).
The IIHF World Championship runs from May 2-18.
