U.S. World Junior roster set

USA Hockey made their cuts and named their final 22 man roster for the World Juniors this morning. Two WHLers - forwards Emerson Etem and Mitchell Callahan - were trying out for the team and both of them have made the cut.

The USA roster:

Goaltenders - Jack Campbell, Andy Iles
Defensemen - Brian Dumoulin, Justin Faulk, Derek Forbort, Nick Leddy, Jon Merrill, John Ramage, Patrick Wey
Forwards - Nick Bjugstad, Ryan Bourque, Chris Brown, Mitch Callahan, Charlie Coyle, Jerry D'Amigo, Emerson Etem, Chris Kreider, Jeremy Morin, Brock Nelson, Kyle Palmieri, Drew Shore, Jason Zucker

Bjugstad (Everett), Brown (Calgary), Faulk (Tri-City), Forbort (Everett), Leddy (Tri-City), Nelson (Tri-City), Shore (Chilliwack), and Zucker (Seattle) are also on the protected lists of WHL clubs. So a strong western flavour on the USA team even if only a couple are actually in the WHL.
