Aho, Teravainen, Darling, Necas, and Ryan are all going.

Darling has some pretty sweet gear

All jokes aside and putting aside my view on them as Carolina Hurricanes, you have to feel good for Ryan. A lot of guys would have given up on a hockey career and he goes that long, circuitous route to even reach the NHL and now gets to represent his country.

Same for Darling.

I’m just now putting 2 and 2 together with Ryan being an American. It took like 2 weeks after he was named to the US for me to have that realization. I just assumed that WHL to Canadian college hockey meant he was from Western Canada.
Austin Levi is even weirder in this respect. Born in Ohio, moves to Michigan then plays in the OHL there for Plymouth, plays pro for both Florida and Stockton (ECHL), also has a stint in Charlotte (AHL), retires from pro hockey, then goes to play Canadian college hockey at University of Prince Edward Island (QMJHL territory).

When he goes onto become MVP of some obscure European league after university then finds his way back to the Hurricanes in the NHL, what a story that will be.
