24 of the 25 hockey pool teams are represented in the 44 players selected with Kristy & Don being the only team shut out of any participation (so far!). Pool leader, Dale B., leads all teams with four players named to a divisional squad today, while Benson and Neil each have three players and 11 teams have two players each.
Of course, there are going to be some changes to these lineups, but all minimum mandates have been met and now we will wait to see if there are any injuries, "injuries" or possibly even some protests, in regards to the lack of Olympic participation.
If any player (or their team) doesn't want to participate in the festivities, they will either have missed a scheduled regular season game (or more) beforehand or risk being suspended for a game after the festivities have concluded. More updates to come, ahead of the game, which will be played on January 28th.
