Nineteen-year-old sensation Macklin Celebrini is a notable new name on Hockey Canada’s final Winter Olympics roster announced on Dec 31.
-
General manager Doug Armstrong’s 25-man team features six players, including Celebrini, who were not part of the gold medal-winning lineup at the 4 Nations Face-Off last February.
The others are forwards Nick Suzuki, Bo Horvat and Tom Wilson and goalkeepers Darcy Kuemper and Logan Thompson.
National Hockey League (NHL) scoring leaders Connor McDavid (69 points) and Nathan MacKinnon (66 points) were named to the team in June, along with perennial captain Sidney Crosby, fellow forwards Sam Reinhart and Brayden Point and defender Cale Makar.
Celebrini, who has 60 points for the San Jose Sharks in his second NHL season, will make his Olympic debut at the tournament from Feb 11 to 22 in Milan.
The remaining forwards Armstrong selected on Dec 31 are Anthony Cirelli, Brandon Hagel, Brad Marchand, Mitch Marner and Mark Stone.
