Sounds like he's got a great mentality about player selection.

Side-note: I hope the Sens allow Lazar to participate, even if he's up with the big club.

Re: Benoit Groulx named 2015 World Junior Coach

I have a little story about him. His parents were friends with my parents when they were young couples. Both our moms were pregnant at the same time. My mom had already chosen names for me, his mom hadn't really made her final choice. I was born January 30th, early in the morning..and he was born on the same day, late in the afternoon..and he is called Benoit because I'm a girl loll his mom ended up chosing the name I was suppose to receive had I been a boy.

Great story. Thanks for sharing.

Damn, I can't wait for World Juniors this year. With potentially 8 or 9 returnees, and names like Morrissey, McDavid, Lazar and Horvat among them, this could be a very dangerous Team Canada. I did up a projected roster.

Max Domi (2, 2, 3, 0) - Nic Petan (3, 1, 1, 0) - Curtis Lazar (3, 2, 2, 1)
Bo Horvat - Connor McDavid - Jake Virtanen
Brendan Perlini - Fredrik Gauthier - Connor Bleakley
Michael Dal Colle - Jason Dickinson - Brayden Point
Laurent Dauphin

*the numbers in brackets on the top line, whether the LW is Domi or Horvat, are in order, over the last three years, (league finals appearances, league titles, Memorial Cup appearances and Mem Cup titles) - call it the champion line.

Shea Theodore - Josh Morrissey (top pair, PP pair)
Dillon Heatherington - Samuel Morin (shutdown pair)
Darnell Nurse - Madison Bowey
Chris Bigras (as god-awful as he was last year, they never leave off a returnee)

Zach Fucale
Tristan Jarry
