April 29, Slovakia

The tournament that North America usually forgets about starts on April 29. It is unfortunate that the NHL season could not be shortened to allow every player the opportunity to play in this tournament, but to me and many others around the world I look forward to this tournament every year. Canada's roster is shaping up to be competitive while the US has raised a few eyebrows with their roster announcements.

Final rosters will be posted on here once they are announced.
