The team consists of 13 forwards, seven defencemen and three goaltenders. Owen Beck is the lone returnee from the 2023 team that won gold in Halifax.
Forwards Markus Vidicek, Paul Ludwinski, Jagger Firkus, Denver Barkey, defencemen Ty Nelson, Jorian Donovan, Michael Buchinger and goaltender Domenic DiVincentiis were the final eight players cut last week.
“This was a tremendously competitive camp that showed once again the depth of talent that exists across the country,” said Hockey Canada management group lead Peter Anholt in a news release. “With so many talented players, difficult decisions had to be made, but the management, coaching and scouting staffs believe the team we have assembled will give us the best chance to compete for a gold medal in Sweden. We are excited to travel to Europe and are grateful to the Town of Oakville and the fans for being part of our journey.”
