"The depth of our player pool is reflected with our team and we’re excited about the group we have to represent our country at the world championship," said Chris Clark, general manager of the 2023 U.S. Men's National Team and also the director of player personnel for the Columbus Blue Jackets. "We’ve got a great mix of experience and youth and most of our players have represented the U.S. before and know what it takes to be successful at a world championship.”
