Norway
Like Team Latvia, the overlooked Norwegians possess only one NHL player. However, that player is left winger Mats Zuccarello of the New York Rangers. Zuccarello, who leads the Rangers in scoring, will likely share a line with Per-Aage Skroder. Skroder has spent the last 8 years with the MODO hockey club of the Swedish Premier League and has five 20-goal seasons in his career. Norway will also have brothers Ken Andre and Mathis Olimb as two speed demons on each wing. In net, Lars Haugen will serve as the starter as he appears to be the most experienced, despite having played only two substantial season in the KHL. Team Norway will need a hot start as they will face Canada on February 13th in the first round.
