The 30-man U.S. Junior Team preliminary roster was trimmed to 24 today. To bring the roster down to 22, another two cuts will be made following Tuesday's exhibition game vs. the Czech Republic in Moose Jaw, Sask.
The cut players were defensemen Justin Faulk, Jon Merrill, John Moore; and forwards Vinny Saponari, David Wohlberg, and Kenny Ryan.
Here's the 24-man roster:
The US Junior team cut 6 players today, 2 more tomorrow after the game vs the
Goaltenders (2): Jack Campbell, Mike Lee.
Defensemen (8): John Carlson, Matt Donovan, Cam Fowler, Jake Gardiner, Brian Lashoff, Max Nicastro, John Ramage, David Warsofsky.
Forwards (14): Ryan Bourque, Chris Brown, Jerry D'Amigo, A.J. Jenks, Tyler Johnson, Chris Kreider, Danny Kristo, Philip McRae, Jeremy Morin, Kyle Palmieri, Jordan Schroeder, Derek Stepan, Luke Walker, Jason Zucker.
Of the 24 players, two are ‘92s (Campbell, Zucker) and eight are ‘91s (Fowler, Ramage, Bourque, Brown, D'Amigo, Kreider, Morin, Palmieri). The remaining 14 players are ‘90s.
Very interested to see John Moore cut. The highest rated dman drafted in the NHL from the US this year. he, as well as Ryan are both playing major Junior instead of D 1. Does anyone out there spell a little reverse discrmination compared to the Canadian team, which for the first time in many years went zero college kids. John Moore is better then 5 of the d at least on that team and even though I heard he had a rough camp in August with the junior team, he clearly deserves to be on it. they also bag Ryan, who is doing well in the OHL where Kreider for example is struggling adjsuting at BC. Very interesting....
