Default Latvian Olympic Roster

Probably the weakest team in the tournament, but they always play hard.

Interesting to see Sandis Ozilins there.

They seem to mostly have names that appear plural by our conventions.

I am probably the only Latvian on this board... lol, but yeah, we won't be that good, but I am sure they'll surprise (but not drastically). Latvian fans love their hockey and should see a strong supporting in Sochi, I know I'll be walking around in my Latvia jersey come Feb!

Is there outrage in Latvia that Ratis Ivanans didn't make the squad again? (in case there is a bench brawl)

Sad that Karlis Skrastins isn't still around.

Upside for Latvia is a good chunk of their team (7 or 8) all play together for Dynamo Riga in the KHL.

I hope for the sake of Daugavins that they get into a shootout.
