If you thought Team North America was stacked in 2016, check out what a 2020 version could look like 👀 (Via RoryBoylen)
Whether you think it was gimmicky or not, you can’t argue that when a group of 23-and-under NHLers from the continent was assembled to play against the best countries at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey, it was the most exciting team on the ice. Sure, Canada may have won the event, but in terms of watchability, the Red and White’s structured, defensive approach didn’t hold a candle to what the kids did.
And in fact, as amazing as that 2016 crew was, when we put together what a 2020 version of Team North America might look like we started to wonder if this group may actually be better. There’s certainly an argument to be made that, at the time of each’s roster’s construction, the depth at forward and defence is better now than it was four years ago.
