New York Islanders' teammate John Tavares would like to see Travis Hamonic represent Canada at the Winter Olympics. Tavares doesn't think Hamonic's invitation to Canada's orientation camp is out of place. "I think people around the league are really going to see what a special player Travis is with his all-round game, the way he can skate, the way he plays the top players physically, in their face and tough, and he brings an offensive side to the game as well," Tavares told NHL.com. "That chip on his shoulder, that kind of western boy, it really works well for him. He's really stepped up his game. He does everything well." Hamonic probably won't be heading to Sochi, but he is a valuable defender on Long Island.
