there were no demonstrative actions by Moreland before his first

When the World Cup of Hockey kicks off on Sept. 17, the best players from around the globe will vie for international hockey supremacy.A deep dive into the eight rosters assembled for this tournament offers a glimpse into where the worlds best hockey players come from -- not simply which country develops top hockey talent, but which individual programs form the most prolific NHL pipeline.ESPN.com examined each World Cup roster, including players who will miss the tournament because of injury, to find which programs are the top NHL incubators. Here is the list of the worlds top hockey factories.London KnightsIt makes sense that this list would start with the Memorial Cup champions. In total, 33 Ontario Hockey League alumni were selected to compete in the World Cup, outpacing any other developmental league. Every World Cup team will ice at least one former OHL player. Among Canadian junior teams, the Knights and Kitchener Rangers of the OHL and the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League lead the competition with five players each. London sticks out by virtue of the names it has developed, including Patrick Kane, John Tavares and John Carlson, although Tavares played only 38 total games for the Knights.Kitchener is one of the big programs, along with London. They do a great job of recruiting players, going into the depths of the small towns to find good talent, said Ric Jackman, a former NHLer who has played professionally in eight different countries and whose former OHL team, the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, boasts four alums in the World Cup. The product [the Knights] put on the ice and the amenities they have -- with that great arena and the success that theyve had over the years -- I can understand why players from the United States or Europe want to go play there.United States National Team Development ProgramIf the OHL has historically been the main channel for NHL talent, the USNTDP is the new model. Team USAs 23-man roster includes eight players developed in the program. And its reputation continued to grow after nine USNTDP players were taken in the first round of the 2016 draft, including three of the top seven picks. Team North America, which features the best players age 23 and under, has eight USNTDP grads of its own, including top talents Jack Eichel, Dylan Larkin and 2016 top pick Auston Matthews.University of MichiganWith five Wolverines headed to the World Cup, Michigan distinguished itself among Division I teams, edging out Minnesota and Wisconsin, which each boast four alums in the tournament. Michigan, which has won nine NCAA championships, has built quite a program under longtime coach Red Berenson. However, Minnesota -- which will have four former players who represent three different countries in the World Cup -- has shifted the recruiting model by attracting both local and international talent.I dont think we were winning the recruiting battles. We were losing kids to Wisconsin. Thats when [Minnesota] opened it up to other kids, said former NHL player Craig Johnson, a Minnesota alum who now coaches at Santa Margarita Catholic High School in Southern California. It proved successful. They ended up winning a couple of national championships after they did it.Perhaps most surprising is the scant representation from East Coast powerhouses Boston University (Eichel) and Boston College (Johnny Gaudreau, Cory Schneider), which combine for three players in the tournament.FrolundaOne of the favorites to take the tournament, Swedens World Cup team draws talent from a variety of historic programs. But Frolunda leads the team with five players, including key pieces Henrik Lundqvist, Erik Karlsson and Loui Eriksson. The club -- which is captained by Lundqvists twin brother, Joel -- won the Swedish Hockey League title last season.Djurgardens and Modo are right behind Frolunda, with four players each. But while Djurgardens is located in Stockholm and draws from a larger talent pool, Modo is among the worlds legendary programs. Located in the town of Ornskoldsvik (with a population less than 29,000), the club has groomed legends Peter Forsberg and Markus Naslund. The Swedish team is led by three prominent Modo alums in Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin and Victor Hedman.KladnoThe club known for developing Jaromir Jagr, who is now its part-owner, has six former players on the Czech roster. Located northeast of Prague, Kladno is among Europes oldest clubs and has overseen the development of top Czech forwards David Krejci, Tomas Plekanec and Jakub Voracek. But Canadian junior leagues have proven just as responsible for grooming top Czech prospects. Of the 23 players on the Czech roster, 15 played Canadian junior hockey. The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League has become the go-to destination for Czechs looking to refine their game: Eight members of the World Cup team have played in the league.Karpat and JokeritWhile Czech players typically leave their country early, Finns prefer to stay home until they get their call from the NHL. When it comes to the programs furnishing the Finnish team, two clubs reign supreme. Karpat and Jokerit boast six and five World Cup players, respectively, and have a history of producing top talent.They play a real team game. Theyve kind of molded their systems around the North American NHL style, said Jackman. You could see how a lot of players would learn their trade on their pro teams over there. There is a direct transition for them to step into the NHL and be successful.Karpats alums on the national team include key players Pekka Rinne, Mikael Granlund and top prospect Sebastian Aho. But Jokerit will always be known as the club that gave the world Teemu Selanne and Jari Kurri, the two greatest players in Finnish hockey history. Those two names -- and Jokerits Helsinki location -- have helped developed an elite program whose top team moved to the Kontinental Hockey League in 2014.Honorable mentionsDukla?Trencin: Slovakia has fallen behind in its overall hockey development, but this club -- located in the modest western city of Trencin -- has four former players in the tournament, including Slovakian legends Zdeno Chara, Marian Hossa and Marian Gaborik.Lokomotiv Yaroslavl: No one club dominates Russias national team. Yaroslavl and Sibir Novosibirsk both feature three players on the roster. But Yaroslavl is a considerably smaller city that has contributed key Russian players Semyon Varlamov, Dmitry Kulikov and Artem Anisimov. Yeezy China . 10 Texas Rangers jersey for one last time.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Elvis Andrus and the Texas Rangers always believe theyre going to win. Now theyre getting ever closer to another AL West title.Andrus scored the winning run on All-Star center fielder Ian Desmonds RBI single with no outs in the ninth inning as the Rangers beat the last-place Los Angeles Angels 3-2 on Monday night for their MLB-best 46th come-from-behind victory.That has been our DNA this year. We didnt give up until the last out, until the last pitch, and its contagious, said Andrus, who also had a tying solo homer in the seventh.Andrus led off the ninth with a sharp single to left off Jose Alvarez (1-3) before Carlos Gomez turned an attempted sacrifice into a bunt single. Desmonds single gave the Rangers (89-62) their 20th last at-bat victory and they improved to 35-10 in one-run games.Nomar Mazara also homered for the Rangers, whose magic number is three to win their second consecutive division title. After Seattle lost and Houston won later Monday, the Mariners and Astros were tied for second place, 9 1/2 games behind Texas in the AL West.Play it straight, just trying to play the same way weve been playing all year, Desmond said about being close to clinching. Its been working. No need to change it now.Closer Sam Dyson (3-2) worked a scoreless ninth for the victory after starter Martin Perez went seven innings and Matt Bush worked a perfect eighth.Alvarez, the sixth Angels pitcher, had gotten out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth following a 38-minute rain delay, two innings after Rangers manager Jeff Banister was ejected for arguing when a replay challenge overturned an out and led to an Angels run.Yunel Escobar was thrown out by several feet trying to stretch his hit into a triple in the sixth, then motioned toward the outfield. Manager Mike Scioscia challenged the ball had become lodged underneath the padding on the wall in right-center field and should have been ruled dead, as per the ground rules for the Rangers ballpark.We thought that someone put their hands up like it was out of play. I think thats what (Escobar) saw, Scioscia said. He kind of stutter-stepped and slowed down.Banister was ejected when he came out to get an explanation and kept questioning crew chief and second base umpire Joe West after Escobar was put at second base. The replay showed right fielder Mazara played the ball and never indicated it was wedged under the padding.From the infield you cant tell if its stuck. ... But when we went to replay, they ssaid it stuck.dddddddddddd So its plain and simple a ground-rule double, West told a pool reporter after the game.I had an outfielder who felt like the ball was not lodged. If you look at the video, the ball was still spinning, Banister said. In my estimation, that is not a lodged baseball. But thats not my call.Mike Trout followed with a triple into the right-field corner to tie the game 1-1. The Angels then went ahead in the seventh when Jefry Marte was hit by a pitch and scored on a two-out double by Carlos Perez.Texas got even on Andrus sixth homer, a two-out solo shot in the seventh that just cleared the 8-foot wall in center.ANOTHER EJECTIONRangers 1B Mitch Moreland was ejected after taking a called third strike to end the fourth inning, on a pitch that appeared to be well outside. While he had some words with home plate umpire Kerwin Danley as he walked back to the dugout, there were no demonstrative actions by Moreland before his first ejection in his 764 career games.SHORT HOPSRangers 3B Adrian Beltre had two hits, giving him 2,931 for his career. He passed Rogers Hornsby for 37th on the career list, and is one behind Willie Keeler. ... Mazaras 19 homers are the most by a Rangers rookie since 2003.RANGERS ROTATIONDerek Holland will pitch Wednesday for the Rangers, and Cole Hamels and Yu Darvish will both get extra rest before pitching this weekend in Oakland after an off day Thursday. That also lines them up to start the first two postseason games for Texas.TRAINERS ROOMAngels: Starting pitcher Jhouyls Chacin was struck on the left shin by a hard comebacker in the fourth. The ball ricocheted to first baseman C.J. Cron for the second out in the inning. Chacin remained on the ground for several minutes, then made a few warmup tosses before staying in the game. Chacin allowed one run over five innings while throwing 91 pitches, 29 after getting hit.Rangers: Andrus was struck directly on his right (throwing) elbow by Chacins pickoff attempt when diving back into second while a baserunner in the third inning.UP NEXTAngels: Rookie right-hander Daniel Wright (0-3, 7.04 ERA) is still seeking his first MLB victory.
