The star-studded group was completed by players like Jamie Benn, who led the NHL in points in 2015 with 87 35 goals, 52 assists) Brady Tkachuk 4NF Jersey, and Joe Thornton, who brought his leadership and playmaking ability to the team.

Subban. This group was key to Canadas success at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, and many of them were veterans of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics as well, forming the backbone of Team Canadas defense.

The team also featured right-handed shots who were capable of playing on their off-hand side, ensuring that Canadas blue line would be both versatile and formidable.

Goalies: In goal, Canadas 2015 roster was headlined by Carey Price, who had an otherworldly performance at the 2014 Olympics, allowing just three goals in five games for a stunning 0.59 goals-against average and two shutouts. Marc-Andr Fleury, who had established himself as a consistent performer with the Pittsburgh Penguins, and Corey Crawford, who was integral to the Chicago Blackhawks 2013 and 2015 Stanley Cup victories, rounded out the goaltending trio.
