USA Vs. Canada Olympic Hockey: Women's and Men's teams

The gold medal game for the women is today at noon, and then the US-Canadian men's teams play on Friday in a crucial semifinal game. I think a lot of people will be streaming these two games in the background at work, and keeping an eye on the score. USA Vs. Canada. Bring it boys and girls.


DAY OF RECKONING - (USA Today)

The day of reckoning has finally arrived for the United States women's hockey team.

The hours, the days, the months, the years, all of the time spent on the ice, in airplanes, in hotels, in video sessions, preparing for this one magical game.

Team USA vs. Team Canada, noon ET on Thursday. For Olympic gold. Just as it should be. Kinda the Stanley Cup of Women's Hockey. It's got tradition.

U.S. Men top Czechs, will face Canada in Olympic Semifinals

...the United States went on to dominate the Czech Republic 5-2 Wednesday, earning a spot in the Olympic hockey semifinals for the second straight time.

On Friday, the U.S. will play Canada - a rematch of the 2010 gold-medal game - for a shot to become an Olympic champion.

Meanwhile, Finland eliminates Russia from Olympic men's hockey

Big Buff (the only African-American in the photo), for starters... That photo was taken during the summer prospect camp. Not everyone who attended made the team.
