"2024 World Juniors: Team USA Roster Revealed with Promising Prospects and Line Projections"

USA Hockey has announced the 25-player roster for the 2024 IIHF World Junior Championship, with the team led by forwards Cutter Gauthier and Jimmy Snuggerud. The roster includes a strong forward group and a talented goaltending tandem, but lacks size on defense. The team will play pre-tournament games against Sweden and Canada before their first game against Norway on December 26. Rutger McGroarty's status remains uncertain due to injury, while Aram Minnetian's suspension from Hockey East is not expected to affect his participation in the World Juniors. James Hagens and other players were cut from the roster due to role limitations and competition from more experienced players.
