Johnston: Mangiapane on long list for Canada's Olympic team

You won’t find Andrew Mangiapane’s name on any projected Team Canada rosters.
But that doesn’t mean he hasn’t put himself on management’s radar after an MVP performance at the IIHF world hockey championship and a scorching start to the season for the Calgary Flames.
Mangiapane was included on Canada’s Olympic long list, per sources, and he’s scored seven goals in eight games since. The speedy 25-year-old winger faces tough odds given the country’s enviable forward depth, but his dominant performance at the world championship in Latvia carries weight with Hockey Canada.
Pretty amazing for a guy who was once passed over for the world junior tournament and didn’t get drafted until his second year of eligibility. Calgary took him with the 166th pick in 2015 at the urging of scout Terry Dornan and that looks like a home-run selection now.
