Gavin Brindley, Seamus Casey, Rutger McGroarty and Frank Nazar III were named to the final roster on Dec. 16 following a three-day training camp. Brindley, McGroarty and Casey were members of the bronze-medal team last year. [MGoBlue]

I've played quite a bit of hockey in my life but I don't think I've heard of hockey players being called icers.
December 19th, 2023 at 2:12 PM ^
I was thinking the same thing, played through high school and was wondering if I somehow missed the age range of people calling them icers.

What is McGroarty's injury?
December 19th, 2023 at 3:50 PM ^
Upper body. He got checked & crashed into the boards (no call). Had to be helped off the ice, to the Zamboni door, then he got put on a stretcher and taken to the ER.

USA hockey wins gold over team Sweden. M skaters had a good tournament as all were prominent in play and scoring. Final was 6-2 in a spirited game
for Sure McGroarty came close to a Geordie Howe hat trick
best of luck to the M skaters the rest of the way
