I'm not sure if he's there, but I don't think he is. I think he's just listed as an alternate or something. That's because I read an AP story saying that the only goalie right now for the US is Parris Duffus (out of Cornell). And it said the coach was upset Guy Hebert didn't want to play, and he was looking for another goalie. BTW, the story said Duffus played great in a 3-1 loss to Russia, and it made a point of saying that the US' best player that day was one that never even played in the NHL. Duffus is quoted as saying he hopes this can get him into the NHL soon.
