In the 2023 IIHF World Championship, the U.S. clinched the top spot in the preliminary round of Group B, leading to a quarterfinal͏ s͏howdown with Cz͏echia. The Americans triumphed͏ with a solid 3-͏0 victor͏y, propelling them t͏o͏ the semifinal͏s ͏for the third consecutive year.
However, their journey was halt͏ed ͏by Ger͏man͏y in a tight 4-3 encounter. Subsequently, Team USA faced Latvia in the bronze ͏medal match but fell short, concluding the championship in fourth place among 16 competing nations.
Throughout history, the United States has accrued an impressive tally of 13 podium finishes, notably securing one gold medal (1933), four silver medals (1950, 1939, 1934, 1931), and eight bronze medals (2021, 2018, 2015, 2013, 2004, 1996, 1952, 1949).
Team USA's 2024 Men's World Championship Roster
Team USA's lineup for the 2024 IIHF Men's World Championship is a blend of experienced and upcoming stars, determined to make an impact on the international stage.
In goal, Alex Lyon, the oldest player on the roster at 31, brings a wealth of experience and leadership. Joining him is Trey Augustine, the youngest player on the team at 21, who adds youthful energy and promise to the goaltending position.
On defense, the team boasts a formidable group of blueliners. Seth Jones, a four-time medalist in IIHF world championship play, leads the defensive corps alongside top prospects Luke Hughes and Jake Sanderson. Matthew Kessel, Michael Kesselring, and Jeff Petry provide depth and defensive stability to the lineup.
USA has an interesting mix of forwards up front, with Johnny Gaudreau, Dylan Larkin, and Brady Tkachuk leading the charge having played in many international games. To supplement them we have got new lads Mikey Eyssimont, Kevin Hayes, Ryan Leonard, Brock Nelson, and Will Smith who offer more options in attacking play.
Representing various NHL teams, college programs, and developmental leagues, USA's roster reflects the depth and diversity of American hockey talent. Under the guidance of head coach Mike Sullivan, this cohesive unit is ready to compete for gold at the IIHF Men's World Championship.
