Outlook

USA head into the Pan Pacific Championships as the reigning world champions, as well as being the home team. With a core that boasts speed and youth, they have certainly earned the titles they currently hold and look likely to add more to that collection every year. But no matter how successful a team is, there is always the possibility that their opponents will be able to anticipate their plays and take advantage of any small crack in the armour.

Key players

Linemates Brody Roybal, Declan Farmer and Kevin McKee have a chemistry on the ice that is tough to beat. Strong, fast and skilful, they dominate the ice.
