Read on to find out who Brian Kom spoke to this month…
We chat with Russian sports newspaper Sport-Express’s Slava Malamud about Team Russia and its abundance of fresh faces looking to make it two in a row.
We'll then connect with TSN's Jermain Franklin to find out which players are shaping up to be the team's leaders and gamebreakers.
Afterwards, we call up United States of Hockey’s Chris Peters who has been closely following this year's Team USA members closely for far beyond the last couple weeks.
And finally, we're joined by Dobber Hockey's own prospects guru and WJC correspondent Matt Bugg who gives us the names of a few promising players from each of the other 6 teams competing for gold.
