==========================

Wow, look at that roster, Team world have put out a super strong roster this year. The defence looks particularly strong with the anchoring of key veterans Geza and Vegeta, along with a number of high performing rookies. Likewise the forwards can boast a fully capped line, but have significant depth from a number of highly touted rookies, including all the Smeb brothers. Peter Larson fresh from playoff disappointment looks to be in a great position to tend goal with these forwards and defensive players out in front of him.

One of the key subplots will be how the former Scandinavian players acquit themselves especially against the new federations of Sweden and Finland. With 7 players highly motivated to prove they can rise above those jumped-up federations, fans are advised to keep an eye out for Team World vs Finland and Sweden games.

While the rookies are strong class in Team World for sure, there aren’t many veteran players in the team, and it is thought that a lack of capped players compared to other teams might limit the chances on the ice. The rookie general manager will need to work some line magic for sure, that’s if he can figure out the how to set them up at all. Fortunately we are told, this powerful roster built itself, with the active players eligible for team world splitting exactly 11-6-1 meaning only 2 inactives needed including

We look forward to seeing what this upstart team can achieve this championship.

Ready for grading 500ish words.

Awesome! Glad to be back on Team World for another go! This huge draft class definitely made all of the teams a lot more exciting. This'll be a WJC to remember
