OLYMPICS 2010: Belarus, Russia and Sweden Announce Rosters

These lists are still considered to be preliminary and are subject to change in case some of the players sustain injuries. However, the final list will have to be confirmed on February 15, a day prior to the opening of the Olympic Hockey tournament, and must not be changed afterwards.

TEAM BELARUS (announcement made December 23rd)

Zakharov issued a warning to these 23 players on the BIHA website. "It does not mean that those hockey players that are on this list definitely go to Vancouver. So it is not worth it to relax. For others, who did not get to this part, let this turn of events be an additional incentive to improve their game. The final composition, we will announce in February."
