Meet the Team: Team USA's roster at the 2023 U18 World Hockey Championships
The 2023 U18 World Hockey Championship kicks off this week in Switzerland, and there's a ton of excitement surrounding Team USA going into the tournament.
With a star-studded roster of 2023 and 2024 draft prospects on this roster, this American team is one of the deepest and most talented groups in recent memory. Headlined by names like Will Smith, Oliver Moore, Ryan Leonard, and Cole Eiserman – there's legitimate high-end talent on this roster aplenty.
A bit further down the lineup, players like Gabe Perreault, James Hagens, Will Vote, and Danny Nelson will offer a secondary offensive punch. On the back end, Aram Minnetian, Zeev Buium, and Cole Hutson are just a few of the many talented blueliners that will contribute to this group's success.
