Anyone else woefully disappointed at how OHL laden this years squad is? Not sure how they think that three OHL goalies were the best of the crop - very surprised not to see even one QMJHL goalie invited to camp.

5 - WHL players - 3 D and 2 F - 3 if you include Nugent-Hopkins - The Oilers are ridiculously stupid, short-sighted and selfish to say they won't let him play for Team Canada if the lock-out ends, esp since NHL hockey has been cancelled until Oct 30th

D:
Tyler Wotherspoon (Portland)
Morgan Rielly (Moose Jaw)
Griffin Reinhart (Edmonton)

F:
Ty Rattie (Portland)
JC Lipon (Kamloops)

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (Oklahoma Barons/ Edmonton Oilers) - named Captain - inadvisably imo

I personally find OHL players to be coached one-dimensionally - there's a reason the WHL has the most players on any other league playing in the NHL. I fear we will get our butts kicked all over the ice, not exactly a gritty group imo. The lack of two way forwards that can punish could be our downfall - Russia is going to have a big, mobile team on the big ice.
