The roster contains 25 Elite League players, all of whom will be hoping to gain a place in the final 23-man squad for the 2017 IIHF World Championship (Division 1B), which will take place in Belfast from 23rd to 29th April 2017.

Team GB head coach, Pete Russell, said: “We are delighted with our final 28 players.

“This was the toughest group to select but the coaches feel we have picked the right balance and the right group. There was so much competition across the board.”

“We have been challenged to win a gold medal by the association and to do it on home soil.

“It’s going to be a wonderful experience and we need everyone behind the whole group. Let’s all pull together, be positive and believe this is our year.”
