Bob McKenzie's locks for Team Canada D:
Dermott
Hicketts
Fleury
Sanhiem

Fighting for a spot;
Chabot
Chychrun
Dunn
Hickey
Juulsen
McKeown
Walman


McKenzie thinks Juulsen and McKeown may have an advantage being the only right shots at camp. He notes that in his locks that only Hicketts plays the right side and is still a left handed shot (not a good sign for Hickey as he plays left side). He also thinks Hockey Canada may have Walman penciled in as the trigger man on the PP.


Craig Button on who will be the starting goalie:
http://www.tsn.ca/video/who-will-be-...-goalie~762977

Button:
McDonald doesn't have a real strong statistical season
He is big, great economy of movement, real good poise - nothing seems to rattle him

This is Blackwood's first foray playing for Hockey Canada
He is big, strong in terms of playing in the net
The only problem Blackwood has is he tends to fall back into his net which is a sign of his confidence

McDonald has the inside track to be the starter in Button's opinion.
Was the goalie of the tournament at the u18s
Has an international pedigree
When push comes to shove he will get the start.
