Sarah Nurse is on the roster, which I hope is a good sign for her recovery.

Hannah Miller is also named, her first time with the women's team, although she competed for China in the Olympics while she was playing for KRS.

Sophie Jaques, who is from Toronto but plays for Minnesota, is also a first time Team Canada player, and considering her PWHL play, this one is so obvious it's a shock it's her first time.

The goaltenders are Ann-Renée Desbiens, Kristen Campbell and Ève Gascon (with Minnesota Duluth in the NCAA).

The women's Frozen Four final is tomorrow, and Ohio State will play the winner of the Wisconsin and Minnesota game that was on last evening. That game is on at 4 pm and in Canada is on TSN+ a separate subscription channel to TSN.ca.

Easton Cowan plays his last regular season Knights game tomorrow. Playoffs are next, as London looks to repeat and repeat to the Memorial Cup.

Ben Danford also finishes up tomorrow, and his Oshawa Generals are playoff bound, just with a little less weight of expectations.

Sam McCue and the Flint Firebirds are in a similar situation, in the playoffs, but not waltzing is as the league champion. They also finish up tomorrow.

The WHL has four Leafs prospects who also finish up on Sunday, and all of them are in the playoffs. Borya Valis, Noah Chadwick, Miroslav Holinka and Nathan Mayes.

If the Maple Leafs play to this identity, can they have playoff success?
Under Craig Berube the Maple Leafs have a different identity than they’ve had before. Justin Bourne looks at the specifics, compares Toronto’s style to recent Stanley Cup champions, and explores if it can be a recipe for success.

I haven't read that btw, I'm just want the playoffs here and the Leafs to get on with the job, I'm sort of done trying to figure them out. Much like they've given up on zone exits.

Preview will be late(r) today, see you then.
