Love the idea, only issues I see are Alex Tuch as a scratch, Drake Batherson has always represented Canada in international tournaments, and Nylander has always represented Sweden
Edit: JRob is the best winger on team USA, get him on the top line
I had an idea similar to this a few years ago. I’d love to see a Canadian championship between the 3 different Canada teams. Like a round robin between the 3 where they each play each other once and the top two teams play again to see who wins.
And all the coaching staff also has to be from those regions.
is this a joke?
Goddamn. No. Just, no. Countries only. No team North America team, no team Europe. Make it like the worlds and only include countries.
The disrespect for mcavoy
All 4 members of Colorado’s top two D pairings on the Canada teams seems good to me.
Hanifin for team Ontario, isn’t he from Boston?
Doesn’t make much sense to me that USA and Canada split but RUSSIA stays intact and doesn’t have to split.
Nylander is Swedish
Hanifin on a Canadian team is interesting. (I think you may have meant Hamilton there?)
And I think Russia would have a few KHL guys, including D Nikishin, probably the best player not in the NHL right now.
…no Horvat? Bro do you even watch hockey?
This dude put Nylander in « Canada West »? Lol okay (I know where he was born, pretty sure he never represented himself as Canadian ever)
Also diluted much? Why does Canada need 3 teams? Best on best, not 2nd on 3rd best tournament…
I know it’s not really the point of the exercise, but not having Joe Pavelski on the same line as his hockey son Jason Robertson is criminal.
Scratching Morrissey is absurd.
You can’t just go by birthplace. Nylander is Swedish
Fowler wouldn’t be Ontario. He was born in Windsor but raised in Michigan and has represented the USA in all tournaments.
You need other teams. Ain’t no way you can’t have teams like Slovak, Czech, Swiss who have really talented players.
HELL even AU with Nathan Walker and Spence could go.
Other teams: DEN (Ellers, Bjorkstrand, Andersen), Germany (There kinda nice tbh…), Latvia (Team full of Mid NHLers), Austria (Kasper, Rossi)
The ‘scratched’ Russian goalie is better than all 6 Canadian goalies. Canadian goaltending in the next several years scares me.
Tage Thompson & Robertson on the fourth line lol oop
How is Lehkonen scratched for Finland
Edit: and you completely left off Landeskog for Sweden?
I know I’m biased but morrissey can’t be scratched in this. He’s 2nd in defensemen scoring while being solid in the D zone. There’s no way he doesn’t make 1/3rd Canada
Bunting and Bertuzzi over Horvat…is a choice!
Lekhonen scratched? With KK on the third line?
How did you get this so wrong, after putting in so much work.
LOL holy fuck I cannot with this level of North American arrogance
Landeskog doesn’t exist, apparently
Vlasic LOLLLL
Chychrun was born in Florida and did live there but I’m pretty sure he represents canada
No Kuzmenko on team Russia?
No.
Dobson is from PEI. Which is not on your list of provinces in Canada East for some reason.
A Shesterkin/Vasilevskiy tandem would scare the shit out of me.
If it isn’t strictly individual countries then it isn’t a legitimate World Cup
Was fun to look at these regional teams though, so thanks op. People are shredding you in the comments
Newfoundland exists. Mercer is from there.
First off, there are other provinces east of Ontario than those three. Dobson (PEI) is even listen on your roster, so what’s with not listening pei and nfld?
This is not a bad idea, but there is NO WAY Bettman would allow that much Canada in any tournament.
1. I don’t like the split of the US teams. Should be Minnesota, Massachusetts, Michigan, and New York vs. everyone else.
2. Ryan Pulock and Connor Bedard would probably make the Western Canada team.
Tell me you don’t watch hockey besides your home team without telling me 😂
Bro this list is wack.
Oh my god Ovi-Malkin-Kaprizov would be a dirty line
If you’re going to include Russia you can just scratch Finland for sure.
How can there be multiple Canadian teams and us teams in a World Cup? Does every country post as many teams as they can? 😂
There is no way that Ristolainen plays over Hakanpää
I can tell you right now that a tournament like this would fail. Us Europeans simply wouldn’t ever look at this as an important tournament. Why? Because of the gimmicks of having multiple Canadian and American teams and having one big team Europe, would never hit in here.
Fuck you, Nylander is Swedish.
I realize this is just a for-fun exercise but the 2016 World Cup has such a bitter taste in my mouth from being pointless exhibition nonsense that I can’t look at any proposed tournament with gimmick teams and do anything other than cringe.
This is such bs that I’m gonna block OP to never see this stuff again. KK before Lehky🤣 Arvidsson/Olofsson/Burky before Landy🤣 Mikkola/Risto before Haakanpaa🤣
Maybe I’m just confused and unaware of something but why is it that whenever I see a WCoH hypothetical, there always have to be some weird obscure continental or regional teams? What’s so hard with just using 8 or 16 countries, singular countries like the IIHF? The whole NA/Europe thing annoyed me in 2016 as well.
Put all three Canadian teams & we finish 1 2 3!!
