Team Canada Roster Announced: Men's Hockey Roster Finally Revealed[/caption]The long wait is finally over.
With executive director Steve Yzerman and his staff on hand to announce the 25-player Canadian men’s Olympic hockey roster Tuesday in Toronto, the team selected can now turn its attention to defending the country’s gold medal.
