You may remember a post from September, about TEAM USA’s Men’s Ice Hockey team. I know you’ve all been waiting with bated breath. Waiting, as team Russia, team Sweden, and various other countries have announced their roster. Waiting for the January 1st outdoor “Winter Classic” game, where the 2010 Winter Olympic Men’s Ice Hockey team would be announced.
If you’re like me, you may have missed it because you were driving home somewhere between Calhoun, GA and Decatur, IL. But no worries, the results are still available. Yes, a LOT of young players, that includes a son of the former “Miracle” team from 1980. It’ll be a struggle, but might be possible for us to get some sort of medal. Remember to tune in mid-February, I’ll keep you posted on the schedule. For now, in case you don’t like clicking:
