If the U.S. were Russia, Olympians from other countries wouldn’t be allowed to come here to practice or play. Not that I’m advocating it at all (it’s a real testament to who we are), but that would put a real hurt on many athletes, including 17 of Russia’s hockey team and all of Canada’s.
I did notice that many of the absolute best prep school programs for sports, including hockey is in the US. Even Sidney Crosby went to one of them in Minnesota I believe.
One period to go, one goal....
Need better US powerplay.
