Kevyn Adams selected defenseman Owen Power with the first overall pick on Day 1 of the NHL Draft this past July. He worked into the early hours of the following morning to complete the trade to acquire goaltender Devon Levi from the Florida Panthers.
In the ensuing six months, all Levi and Power have done is establish themselves as two of the top players in college hockey. Adams congratulated both players on Tuesday after they were formally announced as having been selected to Team Canada for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
NHL players are not participating in the Olympics due to schedule strains caused by COVID-19. The Canada roster is comprised of NHL alumni (including former Sabres forward Eric Staal) and a group of prospects that also includes 2021 third-overall pick Mason McTavish.
