Ducks right wing Teemu Selanne today was selected to his fifth Olympic team and teammate Saku Koivu for his fourth, as Finland and the other the 11 teams entered in the Vancouver Olympic hockey tournament continued to release their rosters.

They’ll be joined at the Games by goaltender Jonas Hiller and defenseman Luca Sbisa, who started the season with the Ducks but was returned to his junior team. Hiller and Sbisa will compete for Switzerland.

The Czech Republic, Finland, Germany and Switzerland have announced their rosters already today. Canada’s will come within the hour.
