Team Canada Roster

If I were Wayne Gretzky and I had to pick from this list here is what I would chose. Some day I'll look back at this to see how accurate I really am. I think the only thing I have going is I won't make political decisions. I'm not going to favor players because of a name. I just hope Team Canada does the same. The 23 players I chose are highlighted in Red.
