Parise, Suter, Koivu, Granlund, Vanek early picks for World Cup

Montreal Canadiens defenceman P.K. Subban wasn't surprised to be left off Team Canada's preliminary roster for the upcoming 2016 World Cup of Hockey. "A North American Youngstars team and a team of the best NHL European players from outside the "Big Four" European countries enables us to include more of the very best players in the world who might otherwise have been left out of the competition".

Even though the NHL and NHLPA haven't decided whether to go to the 2018 Olympics, they've made a decision to stage another World Cup of Hockey in 2020.

The World Cup of Hockey will start on September 17, and the Americans will kick off the tournament against Team Europe. After the worldwide event was inaugurated in 1996 it was staged only once again in 2004.

The various teams announced their first round of roster players Wednesday, with more to come before the tournament begins.

"I'm going to try and win the cup". "Best players in the world are going to be there".

West Ham vs Tottenham Wednesday Prediction
Either way, it's Villa-Ardiles which wins out over Tevez-Mascherano if it's a West Ham v Tottenham battle we're talking about. Nacer Chadli lost Michail Antonio at the near post for West Ham's opening goal and was twice sloppy in possession.

He tallied 13 points in six games at the 2005 World Junior Championships, where he also won tournament MVP.

As expected, Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel were named to Team North America, which is open to players 23 and under.

"I'm really curious how that will work out in Toronto", Nicholson told the Journal.

In addition to Jagr, a few Florida players who were in contention for a spot in the tournament weren't named Wednesday but could be later on.

Team North America: 5:15 p.m.

Ranieri tips Spurs for title win as key week looms
This weekend will be yet another test for this Spurs outfit since they are up against a good team and they will be on the road. If we hadn't won I would have felt really deflated because of the amount of chances we created.

Five of the first 16 players, including Zdeno Chara and Marian Hossa, are from Slovakia, probably the best hockey country not participating in the tournament.

Named to Team Czech Republic are goaltenders Petr Mrazek (Red Wings), Michal Neuvirth (Flyers) and Ondrej Pavelec (Jets), defensemen Radko Gudas (Flyers), Michal Kempny (Avangard Omsk - KHL), Roman Polak (Sharks), Andrej Sustr (Lightning), and forwards Michael Frolik (Flames), Martin Hanzal (Coyotes), Tomas Hertl (Sharks), David Krejci (Bruins), Ondrej Palat (Lightning), David Pastrnak (Bruins), Tomas Plekanec (Canadiens), Vladimir Sobotka (Avangard Omsk - KHL) and Jakub Voracek (Flyers). It's been 12 years since the last World Cup of Hockey, and there are some big changes coming. "I can't say enough about all the experiences I've had with Team Canada over the years".

The World Cup of Hockey 2016 is a joint effort of the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players' Association, in cooperation with the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). He was the team captain for the USA team in the 2014 Olympics.
