Viking Cup Rosters ?

Hey guys,

I'm just wondering if anyone has rosters for their countries for the upcoming Viking Cup in Camrose Alberta from Decemeber 27th to January 4th.

I will be broadcasting the tournament on www.anysportanytime.com and I'm looking to get a jump start on the tournament.

It is a tourney that features 16 and 17 year olds, so many of you should log on and listen to the games.

Anyway if you have any clue what players your country will be sending please let me know.

For more on the tourney check out www.vikingcup.com

Thanks in advance

EDIT: Hugokv, have you mixed this tournament with the U17 tournament also held in Canada? Viking Cup is for U18 teams. Or at least according to Finhockey pages Finland is sending a U18 team to Viking Cup and U17 team to another tournament...

Sorry if I am wrong, but this year, Czech Republic is sending U17 to Viking Cup in Camrose, Alberta, December 27th, 2003 to January 4th, 2004.

I don't have a full roster, but I know defenseman Trevor Ludwig (son of Craig) will be competing for US.
