Philadelphia Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet would come out and completely confirm it, but from the sounds of it Flyers defenseman Travis Sanheim will be on Team Canada’s roster for the upcoming Winter Olympics in Milano. The roster will be officially announced later this week, but, barring a major injury to the player, Tocchet all but guaranteed he’ll be on the club.
During a scrum on Monday in Vancouver, Tocchet was asked a series of questions about returning to Vancouver and facing the club he coached last season. But when it turned to Sanheim, Tocchet didn’t hold much back.
