Magnificent Seven--UPDATED




Rosters for the World Junior Championships have been finalized with seven Terriers—believed to be a record for a college team—set to compete. Dante Fabbro will skate for Team Canada, while six Terriers—Kieffer Bellows, Jordan Greenway, Patrick Harper, Clayton Keller, Charlie McAvoy and Jake Oettinger are rostered for Team USA.

Chad Krys, who was on last year’s bronze-medal US squad, was the final player cut as the roster was reduced to 23. Team USA's first preliminary round game against Latvia is set for 3:30 p.m. ET on Monday, Dec. 26. The game--and all US games--will air on the NHL Network. (US Schedule) (Full NHL Network schedule)

Looking ahead
2018 recruit Ryan O’Connell scored a shorthanded goal and assisted on the game-winner in St. Andrews College’s 4-3 win against The Rivers School. O’Connell, a 6-1 defenseman, has 12 points in 20 games for the Saints.

Looking back
Wade Megan’s goal on his first NHL shot earlier this week inspired our friend Bart Rhett to compile two YouTubes full of initial NHL goals by Terriers.
