World Junior and Spengler Cup Rosters to deplete some College teams over the next week

[BC/HE]

Not every team that loses players to these two tournaments have games scheduled but some that do have very significant losses. Please post what you know about your team here. For Boston College they are down 3 stars: Forwards James Hagens and Teddy Stiga to the WJC Team USA and Defenseman Luka Radivojevic to the Slovakia WJC team. They also lose Head Coach Greg Brown assisting Bob Motzko for Team USA. BC does play during that time in the Kwik Trip Tournament in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin loses 3. Forward Quinn Finley at the Spengler Cup and Defensemen Logan Hensler and Luke Osburn to the WJC. With Defenseman Zach Shulz also out with an injury, it really puts the Badgers down at that position.

No word on whether BC gets back Forwards Oscar Jellvik or Andre Gasseau for the tournament from injuries either. Hopefully all these losses for both teams do not set up a BC-Wisconsin third place game.

Beckner was named but after being ruled out with injury has been replaced by Chris Pelosi of Quinnipiac

Also relevant is some of the coaches out-

The Spengler Cup ends December 31 so I wonder if those players would be back from Switzerland for games 2 days later. The World Juniors will play on through that next weekend. Looking at those lists besides BC and Wisconsin, Michigan State will also be impacted a lot as well. Notre Dame will be impacted more than most others too. North Dakota while being impacted a lot will play Mercyhurst, the only winless team.

Penn State's first game will be Jan 4th and Michigan isn't playing until the 9th, so most guys should be back by then

Poor Mercyhurst is also going through injury hell right now. 3 players are out for the season and they've only dressed 8 or 9 forwards for the last month, so some defensemen have had to play as forwards. Their coach is retiring this season too.

Michigan State will have to do the GLI without their leading scorer and some key players, but unlike previous years their starter will not be gone. It was reported part of the reason the coaching staff had their players turn down Spengler Cup roster spots was the knowledge they would be missing a lot of guys for World Juniors already.

DU will be praying that Pohlkamp is ready in time for their series vs Maine Jan 2nd-3rd

I posted the full version including commits on WJC rosters overview in the CHL thread.

Spengler Cup games will be livestreamed on their youtube account but that will probably not be in english, also on TSN which would definitely be english if you can find a stream
