The World Cup of Hockey has brought together players who do not normally play together in the NHL, and others who normally do not play together in international play (Team North America and Team Europe).
The World Cup of Hockey also brought back together Chicago Blackhawks General Manager Stan Bowman and former Blackhawks forward Brandon Saad. Both Bowman and Saad are members of Team North America.

This is the first time they have been together since Saad’s asking price was way too high for the Blackhawks in the summer of 2015, and Bowman traded him to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
