Canada 3 CIS Selects 0
excerpt:
There are 25 players in camp and the roster will be trimmed to 22 -- two goalies, seven defencemen and 13 forwards -- for the tournament. No cuts will be made until the squad gets to Sweden. They could come after the first pre-tournament game Dec. 20 against the Finns.
...
The juniors owned the puck against the Selects, a team put together from three university squads, and Sutter gave plenty of ice time to the unit of McDavid, 2014 draft prospect Sam Reinhart and left winger Hunter Shinkaruk.
...
Then there was the six-foot-two Anderson, a Columbus Blue Jackets prospect who plays by the Brian Burke buzzword "truculence." He not only dished out checks, but got a goal 15 seconds into the third period, picking the top corner behind Troy Passingham after a feed from behind the net from Rychel.
His line with Rychel and six-foot-four Frederik Gauthier also stood out.
"As the game went on, that line really got their legs under them," said Sutter. "They're all big guys that can skate.
"They play a heavy game. They get on the forecheck hard and they're smart. It's nice to have that size on your team and who play that way."
So two forwards will be cut - I wonder if Shinkaruk will make it?
