WC: Captains & Alternates

[Other Little Mikey]

C - Smyth
A - Perry
A - Whitney

Is that who they are or who you think they should be? Either way, looks good to me.

 

[Just Win]

So Felski is wearing an A in the game against Canada right now. I haven't yet seen who's wearing the other letters.

Marcel Goc is wearing the C, not sure who has the other A.

 

[Barzilla]

Marcel Goc is wearing the C, not sure who has the other A.

What about USA?

 

[Maverick41]

Marcel Goc is wearing the C, not sure who has the other A.

Couldn't spot the second A either. Maybe Kreutzer.

 

[Que Sera Sera]

I will be thrilled to see my favourite player Ryan Smyth wearing the "C" for team Canada. Go Smytty!

 

[HockeyAndTheSox]

an alternate for USA could possibly be Keith Yandle. He definitely showed some leadership in Phoenix this year

 

[William H Bonney]

Jack Johnson officially named Captain of Team USA!

There will be four rotating alternates: Nick Foligno, Matt Greene, Kyle Okposo, Eric Nystrom.

No surprises really.

Both.

Yeah, I was considering to put a d-man there, but nah.

 

[William H Bonney]

No surprise but Smyth is officially Canada's captain.

"We're excited with the team and player makeup that we have," Nicholson said. "We have Captain Canada there in Ryan Smyth, who's played more games for Canada than any player in the history of Canada. It's great to have him back and he's our captain again."

Anything with Denmark?

It'd be cool to see one of the younger guys like Peter Regin, Frans Nelson, or Lars Eller get a letter.

It should be Michael Wolf

A - Kukkonen

C - Kapanen
A - Nummelin
A - Kukkonen

Kukkonen came as a sort of surprise. I can't recall a time he's carried a letter before in the NT.

Well, guess there's a slight possibility he's had 'A' in some EHT or other since nobody pays any attention to those, but it's certainly a first in a major tournament.

 

[v-man]

Latvia just voted on theirs today, and Herbert Vasiljevs will indeed be the captain, with Aleksander Nizivijs and Janis Sprukts as assistants.

 

[Belak Attack]

Canada's is official now.

Captain Canada is back at the IIHF World Hockey Championship.

Ryan Smyth was named Canada's captain ahead of the event on Friday, making it a record sixth time he'll serve in that role.

The 34-year-old forward is the country's all-time leader in games played at the event with 59 and will be participating in his eighth world championship.

Canada will use a rotating cast of four alternates during the tournament: Francois Beauchemin, Corey Perry, Steven Stamkos and Ray Whitney.

surprised to see Foligno with an A, but it is nice to see

I was surprised at first but not really anymore. IIRC he was the captain of the Sudbury Wolves, and he's a popular guy in the room with the Sens. I know for a fact he's well liked in the dressing room, he's well on his way to becoming a solid leader.

 

[Systemfel]

List completed.
