admin — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 17:22:51 +0000

The Canadian Olympic Hockey Team 2010 roster was released today and already hockey analysts all over have begun to debate the roster for Team Canada witch is also the host country of the 2010 Olympics that will be held in Vancouver in February. The team hopes that it can improve on the disappointing seventh place finish at the last Olympic Games and perhaps bring back the gold like they did in 2002. The roster has some return players but a lot of new faces with the hope to bring in a younger hockey generation.

Forwards include:
Patrice Bergeron (Boston Bruins)
Sidney Crosby (Pittsburgh Penguins)
Ryan Getzlaf (Anaheim Ducks)
Dany Heatley (San Jose Sharks)
Jarome Iginla (Calgary Flames)
Patrick Marleau (San Jose Sharks)
Brenden Morrow (Dallas Stars)
Rich Nash (Columbus Blue Jackets)
Corey Perry (Anaheim Ducks)
Mike Richards (Philadelphia Flyers)
Eric Staal (Carolina Hurricanes)
Joe Thornton (San Jose Sharks)
Jonathan Toews (Chicago Blackhawks)

Defensemen:
Dan Boyle (San Jose Sharks)
Drew Doughty (Los Angeles Kings)
Duncan Keith (Chicago Blackhawks)
Scott Niedermayer (Anaheim Ducks)
Chris Pronger (Philadelphia Flyers)
Brent Seabrook (Chicago Blackhawks)
Shea Weber (Nashville Predators)

Goaltenders:

Martin Brodeur (New Jersey Devils)
Marc-Andre Fleury (Pittsburgh Penguins)
Roberto Luongo (Vancouver Canucks)

Some key players that were left off the roster include Jeff Carter, Shane Doan, Vincent Lecavalier, Martin St. Louis, Brad Richards, Mike Green, Dion Phaneuf and Jay Bouwmeester.

Former NHL star Steve Yzerman is the team’s GM and Mike Babcock will assume be the Head Coach for Team Canada.

We will have to wait and see in February if the Team Canada selection was the winning combination or not.

The New Jersey Devils are part of the Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference of the NHL. The club was originally founded in Kansas City, Missouri as the Kansas City Scouts in 1974, then moved to Denver, Colorado to become the Colorado Rockies. But after only two seasons it was then relocated again to New Jersey in 1982 where it has since remained.

The franchise was poor to mediocre for most of its first 13 seasons, only making the playoffs once. However, under current president and general manager Lou Lamoriello, the Devils have made the playoffs in 19 out of the last 21 seasons, including each of the last 12. They have won the Stanley Cup three times (1995, 2000 and 2003).

The Devils are known for their defensive based style of play, but have recently also excelled with their offense skills as well. The Devils have a close rivalry with both the New York Rangers, and the Philadelphia Flyers. The Devils have won the Atlantic Division season title eight times, most recently during the 2008-09 season.

Martin Brodeur has been the back bone of the Devils success and during his time with the Devils (the only NHL team he has ever played for) he has become the NHL’s all-time leader in regular season wins, shutouts, and games played.
