Canada
It's an uphill climb to gold for Canada with eight of the country's best young players in the NHL. Coaching has been the difference in four consecutive gold medals for Canada, so much rides on Pat Quinn's shoulders to get this young squad playing a confident and cohesive team game.
Player to watch: John Tavares is ready to show the world he's worthy of the No. 1 pick at the 2009 NHL entry draft.
BRING EM ON!!
