Beniers, Brisson, Sanderson, and Faber to China for Team USA
Great opportunity for these four young men, but we'll have to wait and see how Michigan's season shakes out now...

Power and Johnson are basically locks for Canada. Minnesota's schedule is also much harder.

Gotta be so cool to be a member of the Olympic team.

Good to have Minnesota players go too.

UMD and Minnesota State-Mankato are also losing guys. So it's at least a bit more balanced than World Juniors.
Lousy for a team that appears to be hitting its stride. But it's the Olympics. I mean, the Michigan Hockey twitter account was openly shilling for Brisson to get a spot on the team; pretty clear the program is behind them getting to do this.
It's the Olympics. You may never get that chance again.

Isn't there a two week we quarantine to get into China for the Olympics? How much total time do we expect them to miss?
