F Patrice Cormier – Cormier played a very important checking role on last year’s gold medal winning squad. Named Captain for the QMJHL all-star team, I expect Cormier to be back with Canada come December and should compete for a larger role in the offense. The 6′2″ 208lb power forward will cause other teams fits.

F Luke Adam – Not many people are talking about Adam, but I am a huge fan of his two way game. He is off to his best start in his QMJHL career, and I can see him sneaking in and grabbing a roster spot for Team Canada.

F Jordan Caron – The talented spark plug plays a tough game and has a great shot. Caron may be on the outside looking in for Team Canada, but I think he should get a camp invite.

D Simon Depres – The first member of the Saint John Sea Dogs on the QMJHL all-star team, Depres posses great size and plays a great two – way game. Depres has represented Canada at the U18 tournament and I epxect him to crack Team Canada’s line-up in Regina this season.

D Yann Sauve – The second Sea Dog on the QMJHL all-star team, Sauve also posses great size and is a heavy hitter. I’m not sure if Sauve has enough to make Team Canada, but should get an invite.

D Charles-Olivier Roussel – Roussel will play any type of game he’s asked. Offense, Defensive, or Toughness, this guys can do it all.

G Jake Allen – I really believe that Allen will be Team Canada’s starting goaltender come the World Junior tournament. Allen posses great positioning skills and has very good lateral movement. He also has experience backstopping the Canadian U18 squad a couple of years ago.

The Team Canada Development Camp was held in August and included 44 of the best Canadian born Junior Hockey players. The entire roster can be seen at Hockey Canada.

With the NHL becoming a younger and younger league each season, Team Canada is left with some difficult roster decisions with many talented players remaining with their respective NHL clubs. Of the 44 players invited to the Team Canada Development Camp, the following may be unavailable to participate for Canada at this years tournament.

Forget About It

John Tavares – This should come as no surprise. Tavares is playing on the top lines and will not be let go for Team Canada.
Tyler Myers – Myers is logging big time productive minutes in Buffalo and barring a miracle will not play for Team Canada. Missing a 6-8 defensemen is quite a big blow!
Matt Duchene – Duchene is currently playing for the biggest surprise team in the NHL – the Colorado Avalanche. Don’t expect the two-way forward to be available for Team Canada.
Ryan O’Reilly – Another surprising Colorado Avalanche player. Most didn’t expect O’Reilly to make the NHL club this year, but he has been a pleasant surprise.
Evander Kane – Another young player logging major minutes is Evander Kane. With the lack of forward depth in Atlanta, Kane should not be expected to wear the Team Canada jersey.
Michael Del Zotto – Another defensman having a great year in the NHL. Named Rookie of the Month for October…Canada won’t be able to use him.
James Wright – Wright isn’t talked about very much with Stamkos doing so well, but he is also providing the Lightning with some valuable minutes and will not be available for Canada.

Possible

Alex Pietrangelo – Pietrangelo has only played 7 games so far this season for the Blues, but has played pretty solid logging 18 minutes some nights. Expect a decision on his future shortly.
Cody Hodgsen – I expected Hodgsen to have been playing for Vancouver out of training camp. With a slow start to the pre-season and a nagging back injury, I beleive he will be wearing a Team Canada sweater come December. That would be a big relief!
Ryan Ellis – I thought when he signed an entry level contract with Nashville that he may be unavailable. But it looks like he is still playing in the OHL and should be ready for Team Canada.
