World Cup of Hockey: Team North America Can Surprise

Connor McDavid will star for Team North America at next month’s World Cup of Hockey. The 2015 first overall draft pick boldly claims that their roster is full of surprises and can cause an upset, according to The Score.

 

McDavid is part of a team that consists of American and Canadian players all 23 years of age or younger, which places them in a situation where many might not expect much of them. Aaron Ekblad seems to agree:

 

“There is a lot of speed and a lot of talent on our team… I think we’ll do just fine,” he told NHL.com.

 

“It’s exciting,” said McDavid. “There are a lot of good young players… we have the ability to surprise some teams.”
