The Canadian hockey team is well-stacked.

Weird that Mike Green or Shane Doan didn't make it though.

I was thinking the same as elektro, how did Vincent Lecavalier & Martin St-Louis not make the team?

- 2010, the one with the static frozen logo man:
http://www.goingwima…uan - The logo is based on the Inukshuk.juhls

"What if the Canadian hockey team does not win Gold? "
It is more or less the only event and medal that anyone cares about.
- go sweden and/or finland!!!ephix
- I care about the women's team more. Only because there's too much hype about the men. But I want them to win, of course.juhls
- Sweden is pretty good, but getting older. USA, Finland, and Russia are all worth watching out for.juhls
- What about the Aussies? lolAmicus
- OH. This is Ice Hockey, I'm with you now.Amicus

"Yzerman wound up leaving former Olympians like Vinny Lecavalier, Shane Doan, Ryan Smyth, Brad Richards, Jay Bouwmeester and Martin St. Louis off the roster. They played on Canada's disappointing team in 2006.
Mike Green and Jeff Carter were also getting serious consideration, but neither made the final cut.
Yzerman talked throughout this difficult process about how Team Canada would have a youthful appeal to it and he stayed true to his word. Twelve of the players on the 23 man roster are 25 or younger and 15 have never played in the Olympics before.
However, he also selected enough veterans with Olympic experience to guide the squad."

for the record, I am Canadian and I think Olympic hockey is a snore... can watch those guys chase a puck on TV pretty much 3/4's of any old year.
Alpine events are far more exciting. I'd love to be on the Dave Murray watching the men's downhill.
- wow. I heard about people who don't like hockey, but I thought it was a myth.sequoia
- BC born and raised... no hockey in my life. I grew up on the mountain w/ skis not skates.inkpink
- You can watch their separate teams, but not all together. That's the point.juhls
- That being said, I find general slalom skiing boring. I love the aerial tricks though.juhls
- downhill is not slalominkpink
- Yeah...it's a bit better to watch. Love the speeds.juhls
- Curling is where its at...ross

Besides hockey, I prefer watching speed skating and skeleton events. Freestyle skiing / snowboarding can be fun. Figure skating isn't bad either if it's full of hard tricks.
