It is a kind of honor for the national team, and the lead is another level. With the face of the four countries of NHL, it is less than two weeks now. We now know who has obtained the huge privilege wearing "C" or "A".

On Thursday, in Canada, the United States, Finland and Sweden, they appointed their leadership groups.

The US team's super -star -named Matton Matthews, the US team, serves as the captain, and Boston defensive player Charlie Mcavoy and the Florida Black Panther Star Matthew Takukukkuk (Matthew Tkachuk) will be a replacement captain.

These options have no quarrel, because Mattheum can be said to be the most talented players in the United States. Although the team has such a deep lineup, the captain of the Maple Leaf team has reached high expectations. TKACHUK has the experience of the Stanley Cup champion. He and Mcavoy also played a leading role in the Black Panther and the Brown Bear.

Similarly, as expected, Canada chose the Pittsburgh Penguin idol Sidney Crosby (Sidney Crosby) was a "C" wearing "C" in the four countries. Their alternative captain will be Connor McDavid, a super superstar of the Edmonton Oil Workers, and Cale Makar, a star defensive player of the Colorado avalanche.

Cross is easier. He served as Captain Canada in the 2014 Olympic Games, the 2016 World Cup and 2015 World Championship. Members of the third -level gold club know how to win the victory of anyone in the team, but he still leads by example.

Fascinating is that Canadians and Americans only go with three official leaders, while Sweden and Finland named four players as their leadership group.

The Swedes chose the star defensive player Victor Hedman as the captain. Hedman is a silent but strong leader in the locker room of Bolts. His name has two Stanley cups, and he will have a calm impact on his compatriots. The 34 -year -old player has good experience on the international stage. He won the world championship in 2017 and participated in the 2016 World Cup hockey. The Swedes won the third place there.

Sweden's alternative captain is William Nylander of Toronto Maple Leaf, Mattias Ekholm, Mattias Ekholm of Edmonton Oils, and Eric Karls from Pittsburgh Penguin Erik Karlsson. In terms of international hockey, there are many experiences, and they are full of calmness and confidence among these players.

In the end, the Finnish team appointed Captain Alexander Barkov seven months after winning the cup with Florida. He also participated in the World Championships and World Cup hockey. The replacement captain will be Mikko Rantanen and Sebastian Aho, the right -wing right -wing right -wing right -wing, and San Jose Sharks, Mikael Granlund.

The Finns will enter the game as obvious losers, but their leaders are difficult for players to compete with them. With Barkov's skills as one of the best two -way power in the game, there is no doubt that Finland will be a difficult customer in the championship.

In the end, every player selected as the four countries became leaders in the way of their NHL team. Some leaders may be more voiced than other leaders, but the challenge of each team will be to marry their personal methods and become reliable units in high risks. After the start of the game, the leaders nominated on Thursday will have a week to guide their team glory.
