With the U-20 World Junior Championships going on in the nation's capital this holiday season, it got me wondering about the upcoming Olympics in Vancouver.

After a disappointing finish in the 2006 Olympics in Torino, Italy, Team Canada and newly appointed GM Steve Yzerman are looking to make amends and bring the gold back to Canada.

It may seem like a distant memory, but Team Canada's triumphant victory over the USA in 2002 was only a mere seven years ago in Salt Lake City.

However, a team stacked with superstars and not enough role players in Torino added up into the demise of the 2006 version of Team Canada, resulting in no medal at all.

This time around, Team Canada may have its strongest showing since the 2002 Olympics with a wide selection of talented young players combined with savvy veterans who have been to the Olympics before.  Here is a look at a potential lineup for the 2010 Team Canada Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team.
