Canada is turning to a mix of youthful exuberance and battle-scarred experience in its quest for Olympic men's hockey gold minus the country's NHL stars.

Twelve years after winning Olympic hockey gold in Vancouver, forward Eric Staal returns to lead a group of Canadian men into the Beijing tournament that begins Feb. 9.

Longtime NHL forward Eric Staal and 2021 top draft pick Owen Power were among the players named Tuesday to Canada’s roster for the Beijing Olympics. Staal played almost 1,400 games in the NHL and won the Stanley Cup in 2006 with the Carolina Hurricanes.

Canadas Olympic mens hockey team will feature two players with Ottawa-area connections when they hit the ice next month.

The NHLs No. 1 overall pick last summer, Owen Power, who is fine-tuning his game for the Buffalo Sabres this year at the University of Michigan, will represent Canada in the Olympics, adding youth to a roster that features 37-year-old forward Eric Staal.
