WC: Roster Talk '13 — France

[Belizarius]

Here's France roster :

(Thanks to eliteprospects http://www.eliteprospects.com/team.php?team=1637)

We don't know yet if Hardy will be the 3rd goalie. Could be Quemener.

Defense was set, Janil won the last spot vs Morand.
But Amar had to give up, hand injury
So Thomas Roussel was called up.

Forward, Berthon had a good camp but was just released. Two players were added :
-Dallas Stars Antoine Roussel
-Kamloops Blazer Tim Bozon (19), a Montreal prospect.

[Eye of Ra]

Thomas Roussel and Antoine Roussel are brothers?

 

[JayKing]

Rooting for Bozon to make it.

 

[Franck]

Rooting for Bozon to make it.

Same.

Would be really interesting to get a look at how he plays against men. Should be a good learning experience for him as well.

 

[Belizarius]

Thomas Roussel and Antoine Roussel are brothers?

No.

Amar's hand injury is a tough blow for our defense. Time for Auvitu and Janil to step up.
It will be Bachet last tournament.

 

[S E P H]

Hope they build on the success they had last tourney!

Well I know Hab fans will be stoked for France.

Any word on possible lines, or where Bozon will play/ ice time ?

 

[Grohlyone]

Any relation between Teddy Da Costa and Ottawa's Da Costa?

Brothers, there is a third one as well, the oldest, Gabriel, plays in Ligue Magnus with Dijon.

 

[De Montreal]

Any word on Bozon?

 

[Pajicz]

Really impressive performance by France so far, especially when they're missing one of their better forwards...
