The Montreal Canadiens defenseman Mike Matheson has just received bad news, as he has once again been overlooked by Team Canada.
A few weeks ago, TVA Sports journalist Renaud Lavoie mentioned the possibility that Matheson could be an option for Canada, possibly in the event of an injury, and now, an injury on defense has just occurred.
The tournament for defenseman Shea Theodore is already over.
Who was Canada going to choose to replace Theodore?
We immediately thought of Mike Matheson from the Montreal Canadiens.
It is known that Travis Sanheim, who was Canada's seventh defenseman, will take Theodore's spot in the lineup as a regular, but a new replacement defenseman still had to be named.
On this topic, it has just been revealed that this new defenseman is NOT Mike Matheson, who was therefore clearly not among the top nine Canadian defensemen in the eyes of the team's management.
Alex Pietrangelo, Travis Sanheim, and.. Thomas Harley!
These are the three defensemen who were ultimately chosen over Matheson.
TSN journalists Pierre LeBrun and Chris Johnston have just announced that the defenseman who received the call from Team Canada is the young Thomas Harley:
«Sources indicate that Team Canada has called upon Thomas Harley to travel to Boston as a reserve defenseman in case of emergency.»

Do you think the young Thomas Harley was the right choice over a veteran like Matheson?
