USA Hockey announced the final roster for its 2022 U.S. Olympic men’s ice hockey team on Thursday.
The group includes 15 current NCAA players, eight European pros and two players from the AHL. The squad will represent the United States at the 2022 Olympic Winter Games Feb. 3-20 in Beijing, China.
All players selected have played NCAA hockey.
“We’re excited about the roster we’ve put together,” said John Vanbiesbrouck, general manager of the 2022 U.S. Olympic Men’s Ice Hockey Team and also the assistant executive director of hockey operations for USA Hockey.
“The Olympics are the biggest stage in sports and it was fun to hear the enthusiasm our players have to represent their country. We’re fortunate to have a deep talent pool — thanks in part to all the great work of our volunteers in communities across the nation — and with the mix of players who are part of our team, we’re looking forward to competing for a gold medal in Beijing.”
Former Boston University (and New York Rangers) head coach David Quinn’s assistant coaches currently with NCAA hockey teams include Minnesota State head coach Mike Hastings, St. Cloud State head coach Brett Larson and Penn State video coach Alex Dawes.
In addition, Scott Young (Boston University), current director of player development for the Pittsburgh Penguins and David Lassonde (Dartmouth, Denver, New Hampshire, Miami, Wisconsin), national goaltending coach for USA Hockey, will join Quinn with Team USA.
