Goalies Leggio, Maxwell complete U.S. Olympic men's roster
Goaltenders David Leggio and Brandon Maxwell have been named the final two members of the U.S. Olympic men's hockey team, USA Hockey announced Thursday.
The two join Ryan Zapolski, who was the lone goalie called up when the first 23 members were named on Jan. 1.
Maxwell is currently playing in the Czech league for Mlada Boleslav BK where he's posted a 10-18-0 record with a .921 save percentage and 2.37 goals-against average.
Leggio, who currently plays for Munich EHC of the DEL in Germany, might ring a bell as he's made headlines in recent years for pushing nets off their pegs to halt opposition rushes.
Leggio has gone 13-7-0 with a .910 save percentage and a 2.00 goals-against average.
The Americans will kick off their march toward Olympic gold on Feb. 14 when they face Slovenia.
