I was perusing an ESPN article today and here’s the breakdown of ex-college hockey players that will be participating in the World Cup of Hockey. Pretty impressive list of all-stars.
Michigan: Dylan Larkin (Team North America), Jacob Trouba (Team North America), Carl Hagelin (Sweden), Jack Johnson (Team USA), Max Pacioretty (Team USA)
Minnesota: Thomas Vanek (Team Europe), Erik Haula (Finland), Erik Johnson (Team USA), Blake Wheeler (Team USA)
Wisconsin: Ryan McDonagh (Team USA), Joe Pavelski (Team USA), Derek Stepan (Team USA), Ryan Suter (Team USA)
North Dakota: Jonathan Toews (Canada), T.J. Oshie (Team USA), Zach Parise (Team USA)
Boston College: Johnny Gaudreau (Team North America), Cory Schneider (Team USA)
Michigan State Duncan Keith (Canada), Justin Abdelkader (Team USA)
So it appears the majority of these guys played at Big Ten schools, but let's not let that fact stop the haters from spewing false propaganda.
ReplyDeleteLooks to me that the majority of these players came from the old WCHA...
DeleteYou mean like the Big 6 going 1-15-1 against the NCHC last year?
