shaku_bert Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 are sized like hockey players, at least according to FIFA see http://fifa.com/en/comp/event/teams/roster,1046,2003,can,c.html I'm old and still don't think metric so once I convert to inches and pounds I get several players at over 200 lbs (Harmse, Belotte, Wagenaar, Alim, and Lindley). Most of them 6 foot over over but I wouldn'y expect them to carry that much weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reza Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 WAGENAAR is the only heavy set at 90kg (200 lbs) but he is 6'1". Edgar looks like a tall skinny one as he is 188(6'2") but he is only 70 kg (155 lbs). Just remember that 6' is about 183 cm. The team looks pretty average by today's pro standards.

jonovision Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 You'll have to work at your conversions a bit. 200 lbs is 91 kg, and we don't have anyone on that roster sheet over 90 kg. That's not to say there aren't some big guys on that team. David Edgar has a lot of height at 188 cm, especially for a 17-year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaku_bert Posted November 27, 2003 Author Share Posted November 27, 2003 [:I] ahem, I stand corrected. Not only am I old, I am completely unable to do those conversions correctly. Can we delete this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyola Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 you should take a look at the Czech squad, they seem to be very big. They have 13 players over 182cm while we have only 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reza Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 yeah, holy cow! they seem to be quite big...7 players at or over 190 and only four below 180cm....their team average height must around 6'1" or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Well, its nice to see that our keepers have some height, which is the #1 area where you want it. Belotte is the only striker with any height, though ironically he's not known for being great in the air but better with his feet. The only NHL players that the size of Lemire, Hume & Godfrey might remind one of are Darren Pang, Theo Fleury and Steve Sullivan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
