Team Canada streak update

I've been notified by Jay Stewart of the Spokane Chiefs that the Chiefs had a 7-year streak of having a player on Team Canada back in the 90's:

1994- Bryan McCabe
1995- Bryan McCabe
1996- Jason Podollan
1997- Hugh Hamilton, Trent Whitfield
1998- Brad Ference
1999- Brad Ference
2000- Kyle Rossiter

They also had Pat Falloon in 1991 and Steve Junker in 1992 so only the lack of a player in 1993 keeps this from being a 10 year streak instead of 7.

After Rossiter in 2000, the Chiefs have not had a player on Team Canada since then until Dustin Tokarski made it this year.

So, the bar (as we know it) is now seven years.....any WHL team beat that?
