It won't be the familiar names most expected to see, but Canada's all set for the men's Olympic hockey tournament in Beijing.
COVID-19 concerns scuttled the involvement of NHL players in the competition, putting a bit of a damper on things as the prospect of the first best-on-best men's international tournament since 2016 was a mouth-watering one.
Despite the NHL's late withdrawal, the Games will go on. Donning the Maple Leaf will be a mix of European-based professionals, AHLers, and promising youngsters as Canada looks to show off its depth. Like they did in 2018, the group of relative unknowns will again try to reach the podium — although an upgrade from the bronze won in PyeongChang would be a welcome sight.
