U.S.
Names World Cup Team
USA Hockey
named the players who will comprise the country's roster for this
summer's World Cup on Thursday in a press conference in St. Paul,
Minn.
The roster
isn't exactly what we
expected, although it's not too far off. What's not a surprise
at all is the heavy concentration of college players on the team:
19 of those named played at least a year of college hockey.
