Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted January 2, 2018 https://twitter.com/usahockey/status/947924744426356742/photo/1 Two players are former peewee teammates of mine (Kolarik and Gunderson). Awesome surprise to see their names on the roster. I had no idea they were even on the radar. The no NHL thing really sucks. But it does give some good people a chance to do great things on a huge stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly, it sounds like they can't actually qualify until there's a rink in Jamiaca and a minor hockey program, but I like that it exists and maybe they be in there in a future year.

Neomaxizoomdweebie 3,083 Report post Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) I'm rooting for the South Koreans this Olympics. There are 3 Parks, 4 Kims, 3 Shins and 2 Lees. Have fun commentating their games, LOL. Edited January 2, 2018 by Neomaxizoomdweebie 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) If you're not excited at this roster, you simply don't like hockey. In all honesty, it's pretty sad when the women's team has more big names than the men's team. Edited January 3, 2018 by GMRwings1983 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted January 3, 2018 Wasn't Chad Billins in the Red Wings system at one point? I remember the name. Good to see Wisniewski is still playing. Great player with crappy injury luck. Honestly thought he was retired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
