This is pretty cool. Some very talented forwards on that team. Also, Sabres d-men (3rd rd pick) Casey Fitzgerald has a real good chance of making it.

That is also a stark contrast to some other country's approach such as deploying max age players just to load the roster to win. USAHockey seems to want to get as many prospects exposure to international competition with the hope that they cover the full development curves of as many of them as possible. Borgen in last years WJC and Fasching invited back to Worlds this spring as examples. Borgen was not a USNDP product which was surprising.

Judging by the number of top draft picks this year that are USA hockey players... things are indeed going well.  I was talking to someone from Dallas the other night who said there are rinks all over the place now and that hockey has been gaining in popularity quite significantly.
