Gaudreau Added to 2014 U.S. Men's National Team | USA Hockey Men's World Championships
Forward Johnny Gaudreau (Carneys Point, N.J./Calgary Flames/Boston College) has been added to the 2014 U.S. Men's National Team that will compete at the International Ice Hockey Federation Men's World Championship May 9-25 in Minsk, Belarus.
Gaudreau's prominent previous national team experience was in 2013 when he was the leading scorer for the gold medal-winning US team. That week was arguably his breakout moment with the general public, as hockey fans witnessed him doing things like this:
Gaudreau joins Jimmy and Kevin Hayes as Eagles on the World Championship team. With a number of BC alums possibly coming up on the end of their teams' postseason runs, there's a chance more join them. While I am just spitballing here, Cam Atkinson is one guy I suspect would be on USA Hockey's radar if the Blue Jackets' season ends soon enough for him to appear.
Congratulations to Johnny and the Hayes brothers.
