PyeongChang Olympian Ryan Donato is among 18 Americans who played in the NHL this season named to the 26-man U.S. roster for the world men’s hockey championship that starts next week.
Donato, a 25-year-old San Jose Sharks forward, led the 2018 U.S. Olympic hockey team with five goals and six points during his junior year at Harvard.
He was one of four NCAA players on the U.S. Olympic roster of 25 players that otherwise included veterans playing in the American Hockey League and in Europe. The NHL did not participate in the 2018 Olympics, but is expected to send players to the Winter Games next year.
