At the World Championships this May Team Canada will be taking nearly half of the New York Islanders offense. And I don’t mean half as the number of players their taking. Though that’s not too far off either.
For the second-rate annual summer hockey tournament Team Canada has invited a number of New York Islanders players, and four have already declared they will represent their country. And now a fifth has joined their ranks.
Before today, Mathew Barzal, Anthony Beauvillier, Ryan Pulock, and Jordan Eberle had all decided they would represent Canada.
