The veteran winger Brian Gionta will serve as captain of the United States men’s hockey team at the Winter Olympics, which will be the first without N.H.L. players since 1994.
Without the ability to name N.H.L. stars like Patrick Kane, Johnny Gaudreau, Auston Matthews and Jonathan Quick, the American roster is a mix of players from the N.C.A.A. ranks, European professional leagues and the American Hockey League. The A.H.L. star Chris Bourque and a handful of former N.H.L. players now in Europe, including Mark Arcobello, Jim Slater, James Wisniewski and Bobby Sanguinetti, were named to the team.
USA Hockey announced its roster Monday at the Winter Classic in New York.
