College Hockey is about to take on the world's oldest ice hockey tournament later this year when a team of 25 student athletes will represent the USA in the Spengler Cup. Earlier today, the United States Collegiate Select Hockey Team has announced the “First Five” players who will wear the red, white, and blue. The two forwards, two defensemen, and one goaltender, are all returning AHCA/CCM All-Americans and represent four of the six NCAA men's ice hockey conferences.

The Spengler Cup is an annual hockey tournament held in Davos, Switzerland. It was first played in 1923 which has allowed it to make a name for itself as the oldest invitational hockey tournament in the world. The tournament is hosted by HC Davos and is played each year in late December. All returning First and Second Team AHCA/CCM All-Americans received an automatic invitation to the roster. Additional players will be named at a later date.
