When are World Cup rosters supposed to be announced?

[wilka91*]

I read somewhere that each Federation will announce its roster for the World Cup around mid-May.
Does anyone know more about it?

Really? Wow, that is so close and yet nobody is talking about it.

We have been talking about it for half a year at the Northern board

I'm sorry I didn't know there was something like a "northern board". Gonna check right now.

Yeah, thanks to Van's "brilliant" idea we have one now...

I think Canada is naming players after the Conference Finals.

I've got a feeling Russia is simply going to withdraw from this tournament

I don't think that the deadline will be set until after the NHL playoffs because the U.S. coach is Ron Wilson, coach of San Jose, and the Sharks are probably going to the Stanley Cup finals. So they're probably giving him enough time so that he can actually focus on the World Cup after the playoffs are over.

Wait a minute. They said that 18 players must be named around mid-May, and the rest of the team before June 20th or something like that. They can't change the rules just because Ron Wilson is in the race for the Cup.
