May be surprised , seems like Rousseau and furlong are Gonna make the team , dumais needs to work on his game away from the puck this could be interesting but I hope they all make it !!

Some posters on Facebook are saying Dumais and Furlong made the team but Vidicek was cut. No word on Rousseau but he seemed like the most obvious pick.
Edit: Now saying Rousseau made it. I haven't seen anything official about any of this. Not sure where people are hearing this.

Congrats to Furlong, Dumais and Rousseau. Quite an accomplishment for Halifax. Have 4 players invited and 3 make it. That's special.
Why the slow dribble of names who made it and who didn't on social media? Hockey Canada couldn't just release a statement of the team?

Goaltenders are
Mathis Rousseau Scott Ratzlaff Samuel St Hilaire
Two NHL Undrafted QMJHL Goaltenders and an 18 year old 5th Round Buffalo Pick.
I remember seeing that Moose Tracks episode this season, looked like Furlongs big goal was to make the World Juniors. He did it, well done bud. Make Nova Scotia proud in Sweden!
Samuel St Hilaire well frigging done, only 2 seasons of junior hockey under his belt and 52 career games under his belt, and was likely meant to be the backup behind Oliver Adam last season, pretty nuts.

Makes watching a lot more fun when there are players from local teams (considering maritime teams local). Will definitely be watching and cheering for the 3 Halifax players

Also no guarantees that vidicek isn’t added. Canada is hoping for one of benson/poitras so they’ve only named 12

Incredible accomplishment for those 3. Rousseau was battling for the #1 job last year in Halifax, and Furlong is hardly a household hockey name. Dumais is ridiculously talented, but his size and strength was going to be an issue. Hopefully he can make an impact.
Rousseau is a warrior, rarely has a bad game, and is extreely competitive. Very happy for him.

I should congratulate Furlong for making the team. I didn't give him much of a shot going into camp and he's certainly proved me wrong.
All three Mooseheads at this tournament have a chip on their shoulder. Many people have said Dumais is too good for the Q but not good enough for the next level. Furlong made a mistake in game 6 of the Q finals last year that may have cost his team a game 7. Rousseau had that puck go through his glove against the Titan two years ago in OT. These guys want a championship and I think this tournament will bring the best out of them.
I'm always a bit nervous when a Moose goalie plays for Canada. When Fucale was playing I found myself not being able to enjoy the games and worried more about his play. Rousseau will be under a very large microscope because of his size, and the fact he's not drafted and many people are already writing him off as the wrong choice. He usually plays pretty well under pressure so hopefully he has a good tournament and gets a pro contract out of it.

Anything to the rumour going around that Vidicek is looking like a late addition to the team?
