We will never have a team like the North America Team ever again. We’ve managed to witness the next generation of the NHL play alongside the current generation of hockey greats, and do it with speed, stamina, and skill. We have Saad and Murray, who have a total of 3 Stanley Cups between the two of them on a team of what are considered to be kids. We have Nugent-Hopkins, MacKinnon, Ekblad, McDavid, and Matthews who make up the five number one picks to play on the same team at the same time; Matthews whose career in the NHL hasn’t even begun yet, but he managed to play against, and even beat multiple Stanley Cup champions before he has even had the shot to earn the title himself. These kids grew up in the generation of change, and they’re here to change the way the game itself is played.
