The 2022 United States Olympic Hockey Roster was announced Thursday afternoon, and we found out that three current Gophers and one Minnesota Gophers alum will be on the roster headed for Beijing. Junior forward Ben Meyers, sophomore defenseman Brock Faber, freshman forward Mathew Knies, and Minnesota alum defenseman Aaron Ness will all wear the red, white, and blue of Team USA.
The three current Gophers are expected to play in the final three series in January before leaving for a quick US team camp before heading to China. This will for sure miss the February 4th and 5th series at Michigan State, and the February 11th and 12th series at Ohio State.
