Sennecke’s late addition to the WJHC selection camp raises some interesting questions. Is this a last-minute panic move by Hockey Canada after overlooking his early season performance, or a calculated decision based on his recent scoring surge? Five points in one game after the initial snub certainly makes a statement. Does this put extra pressure on him to perform, or does it give him an underdog narrative to embrace?

With Cowan’s precautionary absence, is Canada taking a gamble? Is this absence a significant blow to the team’s potential, or will it open up an opportunity for another player to step up and shine? How much of an impact might that big hit have, even with Cowan still attending the camp?

Canada now has 33 players vying for 25 spots. Who are your surprise cuts? Will Parekh’s experience and previous CHL Defenseman of the Year award give him an edge? What about some of the other undrafted invitees? This is a high-pressure situation – who do you think will thrive, and who might crumble under the weight of expectations?

I’m calling it now: Sennecke will be a top-line player for Canada in the tournament. Agree or disagree? Let’s hear your predictions for the final roster and Canada’s chances at gold.
