Well the time has come and the S88 World Cup is getting underway with teams being named I’ve the next few days . Let’s take a look at Team Canada.

 

we’ll start off with the Forward group they will be running with .

 

Molly The Cat 

Coming off a solid season in London where the United win the Continental Cup , Molly will look to build off that and help Canada in their quest to win a Gold medal . Molly is a top player in the VHL and a very respected member of the community look out for him to have a big Tournament in what is his first kick at the cat on the World Cup stage.

 

Brendan Marner 

The long time Veteran finished his final VHL season 2nd in goals and points overall . This will be Marners 3rd time wearing the maple leaf . Marner will be looked at to lead the forward core this year and relied upon as a leader in the locker room . Marner is a big time power forward and a big time player hungry to go out on top with a gold medal !

 

Hulk Hogan 2

Hogan is another Veteran returning for his 3rd World Cup , the Big forward will be counted on to set the tone physically along with setting the offensive tone , Like Marner Hogan is looking to finish his third tournament on top with a Gold medal.

 

Alexandre Leduc

The ever elusive Leduc is looking to provide speed and spark , Leduc is part of the group returning for their 3rd World Cup . The speedy winger will be a valuable asset up front for the Canadian team .

 

Mason Jones

Jones is making his World Cup debut after years of just missing the cut . You can bet he’s looking to prove that the management made the right choice in giving him a chance to wear the maple leaf before he retires.

 

Todd Cooke 

The young Forward is looking to continue his climb and ascent to establish himself as an elite forward . Cooke has worked towards playing in this tournament since his rookie season . Cooke joins a VERY talented Forward group and is coming off a career best season with the LA Stars .

 

This forward group is among the best in the Tournament and is sure to be high powered. Any line combinations they choose to run will be offensively gifted and physical .

 

let’s look at the Defence now !

 

Pierre Emile Bouchard

Bouchard is one of the Best defenders of not the best defender in the VHL and will be a huge contributor and leader on the back end for team Canada. This will be his second time representing team Canada in this tournament.

 

AirRig GoodBrandSon

The Veteran defenceman will join Bouchard on Canadas top pair and provide a two way presence much like Bouchard. GoodBrandSon is a very good Puck Mover like Bouchard these 2 well be relied upon as the only returning defenders on the team . 
 

Doug Matchett

Matchett gets the call on the backend as well. Matchett is a long time Veteran in the VHL and is playing in his 1st World Cup . The smaller speedy defender will bring a good 2 way defensive game to the table and look to make a positive impact to help the team on their journey to try to win a gold medal.

 

Rex Wolfe Gregor

Rex is the youngest member of team Canada and will look to bring that youthful enthusiasm to the team. After setting career highs in his Sophmore season with Malmo he will take this tournament as an opportunity to build on that as well as establish himself as a real up and comer in years to come .

 

The D core is very veteran heavy with a sprinkle of youth , I believe that youth and enthusiasm will separate Canadas defence from other teams ! 
 

Last but not least the Goalies 

 

Brandt Fuhr

Fuhr is first on our returning goalie tandem this year . He will carry the bulk of the load as the 1A option . Fuhr has big game experience and will have to bring that into the tournament for team Canada . He’s been successful in the VHL can that transfer to the World stage ?


Augustus Kennedy

The second Goalie in this Tandem and returning duo. Kennedy is just looking for the chance to breakthrough and really establish himself and take that next step as a goalie. He’s always been steady in the crease but this tournament is where we could see him take the next step and start to separate himself from all the other tendies in the league.

 

Overall Both of these Goalies give Canada a chance to win every game and the team can be comfortable going into any game .

 

Team Canada overall is built to win this tournament they are strong at every position . And have no real weaknesses all around , this team is exciting they can skate they can hit they can score . This team will be exciting and a team to watch in the World Cup this season .
