I pulled the following news off of rec.sport.hockey. The USA team is made up of over-20 college players according to the local newspaper reports. These players are leading candidates for the 1994 team(unless the NHL releases a full load of pro players for those Olympics). Jason Zent and Barry Richter of Wisconsin are on the team. Does anyone know the full roster? ---mg [log in to unmask] *********************************************************************** From: [log in to unmask] (Juha Koivisto) Newsgroups: rec.sport.hockey Greetings from Finland !
