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.
