Hockey is back officially…sort of. The World Cup of Hockey training camps began yesterday for all eight teams, and as they say no news is good news. With six different Minnesota Wild players playing for three teams, it’ll give the first glimpse into how ready some of the Wild’s best players are for the season. More simply though the tournament will be just fun to watch as NHL level hockey makes its debut.
Six Wild players will be playing for three different teams, that’s fairly solid compared to most other NHL teams. Team USA will feature Ryan Suter and Zach Parise, Team Europe will have Nino Niederreiter, and Team Finland will have three Wild players Erik Haula, Mikko Koivu, and Mikael Granlund.
