Still have no idea why people hated on North America. Such a fun and exciting team and very NHL to only do it once

The North American team is for sure stacked and was great but in my opinion the greatest team ever assembled was the 2002 Canadian Olympic team…. Mario Lemieux, Yzerman, Shannahan, Belfour, Rob Blake, Kariya, Pronger, Sakic, Curtis Joseph, Ryan Smith, Iggy ,Thereon Fluery, Rob Blake, Lindros, Owen Nolan, Macinnis and more … coached by Pat Quinn and was the first gold medal at the Olympic for Canada in 50 years…. This team was absolutely stacked…

the NHL really robbed the world of the best international hockey for 10+ years smh

This tournament really changed my opinion of MacKinnon. I knew he was good but this is what made me realize how much of a beast he really is.

Hockey executives are doing their best so we never see this again (it was way to fun)

The dark jerseys were awesome.

Imagine having McDavid, MacKinnon, Matthews, and Eichel down the middle

This WC of Hockey was sick. Team N.A. (under 23) was such a great idea.

Watching Nate Mack's toe drag live was amazing, never cheered so loud to a play before and I watched every game during the Hawks 2015 cup run

Great video! Really liked this one!

I absolutely loved this team. Canadian, but I was cheering for the "young guns" as I called them. Absolutely lethal team, one of the most interesting hockey teams I've ever witnessed and would love to see them bring it back somehow again.

Love the concept. Very exciting.

Bro I wanted NA team vs Canada so bad but Russia had a nice team

I'd love to see this come back

That coaching team 😮

Montreal teams from the 1970s were the best . The red army game was one of the best ever. And those teams have the most players in the hockey hall of fame . Then its a toss up between Detroit early 2000s , Edmonton mid to late 1980s and Islanders early 80s

Sorry that title belongs to the 2002 Detroit Red Wings...who now have 10 players from that roster in the HHOF, as well as Scotty Bowman as a HC, Mike Illitch as an Owner and Ken Holland as a Builder (GM). 13 HHOF Members from 1 team....a team that won the Cup, broke the NHL and were the cause of the Salary Cap being introduced a couple years later.

The uncanny valley voiceover for this video really seals it

Aves are my team so i love seeing him for 8 years ago

I dont know about this Mcdavid dude, but he looks great. Maybe one day we'll see him in the big leagues.

this guy talks without commas

Here's my dream team, obviously all players being taken from their ''prime'' years in the NHL... Here's a fun challenge to everyone else --> Make a team (without using any of these same players) to challenge my team (I'm pretty sure there's at least 6 or 7 teams teams that could arguably beat my team given how many players I couldn't pick)... F: Gretzky - McDavid - Ovechkin D: Lidstrom - Pronger G: Hasek Pros: SIZE, passing, scoring, variety of scoring zones & methods from each forward... Cons: Hasek was known for having a rare stinker every now and then, Gretzky was never ''super agile'', Pronger is a beast but could go ''off'' and get quite a few penalties if the other team got on his nerves...

Dude the 1976 Montreal Canadiens dynasty had 11 hall of famers, 16 all stars, 17 trophies and a 0.786% winning percentage (no OT or shootouts) plus still hold the record 2.76 goal differential. That almost dynasty team tied the USSR a year earlier. In their prime from 1976 to 1980 that team was probably better than the summit teams of 1976. Other contenders are the 1980s Islanders and Oilers. Still the oilers had 5 hall of famers for example. Young people don't realize just how crazy good the Canadiens were in the 50s, 60s, 70s and even until 1994.

So good

The north amerian roster would be even more stacked now because you have Cale marker and a few other guys

Ive watched like 20 videos from this guy and still cant figure out if it's an AI voice or not

1:05 Sweden out there on the ice looking like a mob of Vault Boys.

2016 was the golden year

this was awesome

The point of having it as country vs country is to bring out a unique kind of competitive spirit - this tourny was just void of any kind of spirit, passion, pride, patriotism. Yanno the things that actually transcend the sport itself into something the viewer(and the players) want to be invested in.

That was great 😢

What happened to Ryan Murray?

Was team north America u20?

The 2002-03 Red Wings

This team was amazing to watch. We will likely never see this again because the NHL hates fun.

McDavid had ONLY 1 more asst. Than THAT one

The WCOH was great as everyone got to root for one team by combing the US and Canada and it was such a special thing. Sucks the NHL will only do it once.

Great video. But the best team ever assembled was 1987 team Canada. Think about how many are in the Hall of Fame. And it was the same for team Russia. Most exciting hockey I've ever watched.

There was no need to combine US and Canada at all. Why not just play the old all star game again? North America vs Europe

I think he means the best team if they were to play today

The 1980 Miracle team called: they'd like to remind you that they pulled off the impossible, in the worst possible time of politics, on the lowest budget.

We haven't talked about the mexicans or Caribbean countries on the team. This was a North American team after all. Very elitist to not talk about their contributions😂😂

Probably the fastest team ever assembled! Nobody would touch it now!

This tournament should have had these 4 teams North America Scandinavia (swe fin den) Russia and former Russian territories Europe

87 canada cup team

This is not a new concept. Back in the day the all star game was team NA vs. The World. Which pitted NA players against EU and Russian players.

They were fun to watch but it’s not fair basically having a 2nd team for Canada and USA. The two arguably best hockey national teams in the world now had a 2nd chance to win the WCoH. That’s why I get why it was discontinued as a team. If there was a team North America made of U23 Canada & USA, I would also expect teams like a Team Nordic made up of U23 Finland and Sweden. A Team North America can work in some scenarios but it has to be equal for all countries, you can’t just favor 2 countries and make a secondary team for them.

Greatest hockey team ever assembled? I nearly lost my lunch. Imagine a team with Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Eric Lindros, Messier, Coffey, Shanahan, Steve Larmer, Scott Stevens, Hawerchuk Belfour all on one team. Can't even count how many Stanley Cups between them all. It's not even close.

Not a chance look at the roster of Canada 1987 Canada Cup 12 Hall of Famers and arguably the two greatest forwards ever to play 99 and 66

A stacked team ...but best ever assembled not too sure about thst....usually first place is part of that.....2010 canadas olympic team would have kicked their asses...just saying

Yeah, but they don't have that new girl coach from Seattle. So wtf could they possibly know. (Sarcasm). Obviously.

NA team was a all star team

don’t 4get Johnny Hcky

One could argue that the greatest Hockey team ever assembled is the one that just won The Cup😼

Not even close by a mile compared to the talent of Team USA & Team Canada from the 97 World cup.....they would ANNIHILATE this U.S Canada combo in the video.

Come the 2026 Olympics CANADA might even have a better team.

Canada would smash any other team if they could have any Canadian player they want

best hockey team was 1976 team canada

Nah it’s gonna be the 2025 team. Just because they are older and some players have gotten even better.

lol hockey superpowers! LOL

Still not as good as the 87 canada cup team watch the videos they were unstoppable

A better team than Lemieux, Gretzky, Hawerchuk, in 1987 in Rendezvous 87?

Such a stupid concept for a Tournament. Was interesting in theory, but ultimately an overwhelmingly forgettable event.

Gayest concept for a team ever

The greatest hockey team ever assembled is strictly Canadian players, they make up the smartest and toughest players in the league. USA hockey creates a bunch of whiners

lol it fing was eh

23/24 oilers are the greatest team assembled..

are you clickbait obsessed? stop it. 10 canada, 14 canada. 16 canada will smash this team EVERY SINGLE TIME

No it wasn’t the best team ever assembled, you are very wrong.
