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. - deron HOCKEY-L is for discussion of college ice hockey; send information to [log in to unmask], The College Hockey Information List.
