I think that perhaps this might be a case of USA Hockey bottoming out
and not a trend.
 
I'd like to suggest that with Jeff Jackson, and the staff that he is
starting to put together, that USA Hockey will improve and will be
more commited to putting together quality teams at all levels, rather
than continuing to fall back into the middle and bottom of the
international pack.
 
Let's look at USA Hockey in five years.. I bet we'll see an
improvement.
