MONTREAL 听- Four members of the 缅北强奸 Redmen have made the official 22-man roster of the CIS team that will represent Canada in men's hockey at the 24th Winter Universiade in Erzurum, Turkey.

听

The event, also known as the World University Winter Games, will run from Jan. 27 to Feb. 6. Without much surprise, the OUA West Division-leading Western Ontario Mustangs and OUA East-leading Redmen dominated the selection with six and four skaters, respectively. Both teams are undefeated in regulation time thus far, with the Mustangs sporting a sparkling 13-0-3 record while the Redmen own a remarkable 16-0-2 mark.

听

Leading the way for 缅北强奸 will be current CIS leading scorer Francis Verreault-Paul, a speedy left-winger from Mashteuiatsh, Que., who is joined by Redmen teammates Marc-Andr茅 Dorion, a defenceman from St. Hubert, Que., centre Maxime Langelier-Parent of Lery, Que., and 缅北强奸 team captain Evan Vossen, a rugged forward from Swift Current, Sask.

听

缅北强奸 will be without the quartet for three regular season games, a home affair against Concordia (Jan. 26) and a pair of road matchups at Carleton (Jan. 29 and Feb. 5).听 They are part of an all-star team comprised entirely of players from the Ontario University Athletics conference who will wear the maple leaf jersey on their chests.

听

Verreault-Paul, a science junior, is enjoying a mind-boggling campaign and leads the nation with 26 goals and 39 points in only 16 contests. A former QMJHL all-star with the Chicoutimi Saguen茅ens, Verreault-Paul earned first-team all-Canadian status a year ago after he finished second in the country with 54 points in 27 games. The 5-foot-10, 180-pound powder-keg has an impressive 80-74-154 record and a whopping 412 PIMs in 101 career games overall since joining the Redmen in 2008.

听

Dorion, a physical education junior who earned CIS defenceman-of-the-year honours last season, leads all CIS rearguards with 32 points (7-25-32) in 18 games this season. He finished second in the country among blue-liners a year ago when he tallied 36 points in 25 contests. Dorion sits third among 缅北强奸's all-time point leaders for defencemen, with a 27-96-123 record in 108 games overall in his three seasons with the Redmen.

听

Langelier-Parent, a 6-foot-2, 225-pound economics junior, is among the top skaters and penalty-killers in the CIS. He has four goals and 19 points in 18 games. Last year, he posted a 9-18-27 record in 28 contests.

听

Vossen, an industrial relations senior, has 11 goals and 18 points in 18 games this season and posted a 14-19-33 record last year.

听

Leading the CIS squad will be general manager Brian Bourque from the University of Waterloo and head coach Clarke Singer from Western Ontario. Singer, who also headed the OUA delegation at the 2005 Games, will be assisted by Concordia's Kevin Figsby, who was also behind the bench six years ago, and Guelph's Shawn Kemp. Rounding out the team personnel are equipment manager Bob McLeod of Western, therapist Gunner Obrascos of Guelph and video coordinator Cam O'Donnell, also from Western.

听

Windsor's Jim Watt and Western's Anthony Grieco will defend the Canadian net in Turkey. Watt has an OUA-leading .930 save percentage and a 2.41 goals-against average in 14 starts with the Lancers this fall, while Grieco isn't far behind in both categories, posting a .920 save percentage and a 2.51 GAA in 11 outings.

听

Joining Dorion on the defensive corps are Western teammates Scott Aarssen and Geoff Killing, Ottawa freshman Dominic Jalbert, Guelph's Tim Priamo, Lakehead's Jordan Smith and Waterloo's Kyle Sonnenburg.

听

Smith and Sonnenburg are both former CIS all-Canadians, while Aarssen was a member of the CIS all-rookie team in 2009-10.

听

Offensively, Canada shouldn't be lacking for firepower.

听

Joining the aforementioned 缅北强奸 trio up front is the Western foursome of Kevin Baker, Yashar Farmanara, Aaron Snow and Keaton Turkiewicz, plus Lakehead's Matt Caria, UQTR's Francis Charland, Guelph's Thomas Kiriakou, Carleton's Brandon MacLean, Waterloo's Chris Ray and Wilfrid Laurier's Jean-Michel Rizk.

听

Baker (9-15-24), Caria (8-20-28), Kiriakou (7-13-20), MacLean (8-17-25) and Ray (6-14-20) all lead their respective teams in scoring at the break. Ray was a second-team all-Canadian in 2009-10.

听

Canada goes into the tourney as reigning silver medalist after dropping a 4-2 decision to archrival Russia at the 2009 final in Harbin, China. Two years before in Turin, Italy, Canada defeated the Russians 3-1 in the gold medal match to capture their third-ever Universiade title, following triumphs in 1991 (Sapporo, Japan) and in 1981 (Jaca, Spain).

听

Since 1997, Canada has been represented at the Games in men's hockey by each of three CIS conferences on a rotating basis. Canada West players claimed bronze medals in 1997 (Chonju, South Korea) and 2003 (Tarvisio, Italy) and silver in 2009. OUA skaters won bronze in 1999 (Poprad-Tatry, Slovakia) and finished fifth in 2005 (Innsbruck, Austria). The AUS all-stars returned home with silver in 2001 (Zakapone, Poland) and gold in 2007.

听

The 12 countries entered in the 2011 Universiade tournament will be split in three pools, with eight teams advancing to the quarter-finals at the end of the preliminary round.

听

The men's hockey tournament gets under way on the first day of competition with the championship match serving as the Games' grand finale on Feb. 6 at 3 p.m. (local), a few hours before the closing ceremony. Canada kicks off Pool B play against Slovenia on Jan. 27 and resumes the opening round against Belarus on Jan. 29 and Korea on Jan. 31.

听

Pool A is comprised of defending champion Russia, Japan, the Czech Republic and host Turkey, while the USA, Kazakhstan, Spain and Slovakia make up Pool C. The Russians open their title defence against Japan on Jan. 27.

听

In 2009, Team Canada cruised through pool play with wins over host China (13-0), Great Britain (11-2), the Czech Republic (3-1) and Kazakhstan (7-2). The Canada West all-stars went on to dominate Slovakia 8-1 in the semifinals before losing to Russia in the final.
