Another advantage was probably the fact that Rooney plays in a league that actually uses and practices the shootout.

2018 USA Olympic Women's Hockey Team
- Thread starter D2D
- Start date
When Agosta got that close she shouldn't have tried to shoot for the 5-hole. If she had stickhandled the puck back to her backhand she could have just softly guided the puck into the short side with her top hand on the stick as Rooney was sliding across to the other side to mirror Agosta. Easy to say after watching the replay enough. Just glad it wasn't me on either side of that moment!
Re: 2018 USA Olympic Women's Hockey Team
I am still so pumped with the USA winning Gold. For me it was second only to the 1980 "Miracle on Ice". I have the final game saved on the DVR, where I expect it will stay and be replayed for a long time to come.
Still, I can't help looking ahead. With the Olympics now completed I'm curious what the plan is for the USA National Team going forward. Specifically, with the current players having been on salary and a portion of their living expenses having been paid by USA Hockey, what changes can we expect to see over the next few years, as compared to when the compensation was at best meager, with the players having to bear most of the cost themselves. So a few questions:
> Will all players who wish to stay with the team continue to receive compensation? Or will some be involuntarily "cut" from the program (or allowed to "retire") before the team is officially reconvened to begin practicing/training prior to the next international competition?
> There will surely be changes in the roster, with new tryout invitations extended. Anyone know what the timing of the process will be?
> To what extent will the new compensation agreement have an impact on whether some college-eligible players decide to redshirt or join the national team?
> Any guesses as to how many of the current Olympians will be back in 2022?

These are all fantastic questions. I don’t think anyone will redshirt college to attempt to be apart of the National Team. I was wondering if the college kids in the Olympic team get to accept the payout for winning a gold medal?
I would love for someone to report on this line of questions. I too am still pumped about the Olys, and now playoff college hockey. Just watched the women’s team on Ellen. They represented themselves very well, no surprise there.

Since 2001, NC$$ by-laws have permitted student-athletes to accept payments from the USOC’s Operation Gold program, which gives bonuses to athletes for medals at Olympic or world championship events, without compromising their eligibility.

I would guess Marvin may not return.
Kessel seems to have lost something since all the injuries so while I would love to see her play again my guess is she may leave on a golden note
Duggan and Bellamy are 30 so I would expect them to return
Those are the oldest (I think) but it is tough for a woman to put the rest of life on hold for 4 years & play even for the better money currently offered.
I am not an expert but what I remember from previous discussions is Athletes can get expenses paid for by the United States Olympic Committee to cover development training, coaching, facility usage, equipment, apparel, supplies, comprehensive health insurance, travel, and room and board. Also, expenses for Olympic tours and exhibitions are allowed as long as the athlete doesn't miss class time or conflict with university competition. Athletes can receive apparel, clothes, footwear and other commemorative items for participating in the Olympics or International championships. People or companies can provide expenses and "non-monetary" benefits to an athlete's family to attend national team competitions.

Frost mentioned that the team ends Thursday practices with a shootout competition. I get the impression if there is a shootout required that weekend those results may influence his choices. Maybe The Olympic team does something similar?

I'm sure they do.
Heck, way back when I was on my high school soccer team, we had penalty kick competitions during practice. Whoever finished on top, no matter what type of player you were, were the ones selected if a penalty kick was called during the game. I actually finished second. The problem was, I hardly played.
Like I said, it didn't matter what type of player you were. If you won the competition and were in the game when a penalty kick was called, you got to take it.

After all my years on the Olympic hockey team, I'm glad someone has finally told me something that would help me move my life forward. 1952 was a long time ago.

I’m sure there’s a newer thread but I can’t find it.. here’s a nice story on RMU alum McLaughlin Bittle who coaches team USA goalies now. I’ll be going to the Friday night game in Pittsburgh, excited to watch my first woho game live of the year.
