Canada's 2022 Olympic men's hockey roster will have a bit of an NCAA flavor.
Former college forwards who will suit up in China next month for Team Canada include Daniel Carr (Union), Corban Knight (North Dakota), Ben Street (Wisconsin), Adam Tambellini (North Dakota) and Daniel Winnik (New Hampshire). Also on the roster are defenseman Mat Robinson (Alaska Anchorage) and goaltender Matt Tomkins (Ohio State).
Current college players named to Team Canada for this year's tournament include forward Jack McBain (Boston College), defenseman Owen Power (Michigan) and goaltender Devon Levi (Northeastern).
Canada has won a record nine gold medals in men's hockey at the Olympics, with the last one coming in 2014. Canada finished third (bronze medal) in the most recent Games in 2018, which did not feature current NHL players, just like this year's competition.
The XXIV Olympic Winter Games are scheduled to be held in Beijing, China from Feb. 4-20.
