Team World Announced Today
Roster for the World team is revealed
Today was the press conference for the release of the World team for the upcoming World Hockey Championships taking place this August before BRHL camps open up. The Roster is as follows:
| LW | C | RW |
| Nikolaj Ehlers | Anze Kopitar | Leon Draisaitl |
| Michael Grabner | Lars Eller | Nino Niederreiter |
| Thomas Vanek | Frans Nielsen | Mats Zuccarello |
| Mikkel Boedker | Nico Hischier | Kevin Fiala |
| Michael Raffl | P.E. Bellenmare | Oliver Bjorkstrand |
| LD | RD |
| Roman Josi | Luca Sbisa |
| Dennis Seidenberg | Xavier Ouellet |
| Yannick Weber | Victor Antipin |
| Mark Streit | Korbinian Holzer |
| Stepan Falkovsky |
| G |
| Frederik Andersen |
| Philipp Grubauer |
| Reto Berra |
The forward group looks decent and diverse led by veteran Anze Kopitar. The goaltending should be good going forward with Frederik Andersen projected as the #1. Where this team is weakest is at D with not much there beyond Roman Josi.
I predict this team will finish 8th.
