I have lived in Michigan my whole life, have been a Michigan fan since
before I attended the UofM from 1975-1981.  I went to Michigan Hockey
games back when they were terrible, and have followed them ever since.

Yes, and he is also a scholarship player for the U of M.  What's your
point?  I didn't ask why he is on the Canadian team, I asked for how
long.  You obviously either:
 
1) Didn't have the answer to my question (basic lack of knowledge,
   eh?)  or
 
2) Have the answer, but just wanted to be an a-hole about it.

What the hell does this have to do with your opinion of Americans?  I
asked a simple question about how long UM loses their star player,
expressed my opinion that I am displeased by the fact that he will be
absent from the team, and you start flaming me about being an
American.  Please grow up.  This list is for the discussion of hockey,
not a sounding board for your personal hatred of Americans.  The "lack
of knowledge" comment was purely spiteful, and deserves no further
mention.
 
Now, does anyone have the answer to my original question?  How long
does Michigan have to wait for one of their best players to get done
playing on the Canadian team?
