from December 26th through January 5th. This year, the Habs will have four
representatives, all of whom also suited up last year: Jacob de la Rose (SWE), Zach Fucale
(CAN), Artturi Lehkonen (FIN), and Martin Reway (SVK). As is our annual
tradition, we will be tracking each players’ progress throughout the tournament.
