Only 1 goalie for the men?
That’s all they’ve revealed at this point. The prevailing thought is that Jake Oettinger and/or Joseph Woll will be added after the World Junior tournament ends.
I’m not sure both Oettinger & Woll make the team. Both are great young goalies, but they may want to take at least one guy who is a veteran backup. David Leggio has won back-to-back championships in Germany & could be one of the selections. The defense surprises me a little bit. I thought at least one of Mark Stuart. Tom Gilbert & Mike Lundin would’ve been on the roster
