The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.
Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar.
We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.
Noticed that as well. Faber looks like more and more of a cake eater.
Lacombe is the only one that hasn't been nailed down. A few different conflicting reports. Though, given the fact that nearly every other Minnesotan has not gone, I'm inclined to believe he's not in DC.
There's only so many places to train and only so many hours in the day. Every Winter Olympic sport is limited in training facilities and coaching, especially in countries where equality in access isn't a legal requirement.
For the US players, there's a photo of the team on the boarding stairs of an Air Force 757. Connor, Nelson, Guentzel, Oettinger, and Lacombe were the only ones not spotted in it.
The reporting on Connor, Nelson and Guentzel is solid.
Oettinger is mostly solid, though there's a bit of question...
Update after a bit of digging:
Connor is confirmed to be in Winnipeg.
Nelson is confirmed to be in Colorado.
Guentzel is confirmed to be in Tampa.
Lacombe went to DC.
Oettinger is confirmed to be in Dallas.
Looks like we have a pretty good idea of who’s not going.
Kyle Connor is confirmed to be back in Winnipeg and practicing.
Oettinger, Lacombe, Nelson, and Guentzel are the others that were seemingly not spotted in a photo of the team boarding a plane for DC.
So we know which five players won’t...
I’m skeptical on American athletes doping on a level that Russia was and China is possibly doing. The USADA has always seemed a little… zealous in their operations.
Especially in the Winter Olympics. It is notoriously difficult and expensive to train for any event at the Winter Olympics as a male and doubly so for a female. Given our facilities and geographical advantages, it’s disappointing we didn’t win more on the women’s side.
On a slightly different topic, I’m not a big fan of lefty, liberal sites trumpeting the fact that the majority of the US’ gold medals were won by women. It’s one thing to point out like “hey, this is interesting!” It’s another thing to be using it as an attempt to score political points like...
Facebook Reels and YouTube love to recommend to me various Canadian creators that are clearly from Saskatchewan or Manitoba (or at least pretending to be). Most of their content is terrible, making fun of Americans (which was low effort, hack shit when Rick Mercer did it and even worse now)...
