DETROIT -- Hockey Canada executive director and Detroit Red Wings vice president Steve Yzerman plans to call Wayne Gretzky to find out his plans for the future. Yzerman said in a phone interview Saturday that he has been in contact with Gretzky to talk about his experiences at the Olympics. Gretzky resigned Thursday as the coach and director of hockey operations for the financially struggling Phoenix Coyotes. He led Hockey Canada during the previous two Olympics.
CALGARY, Alberta -- Canada's top hockey stars had barely stepped off the plane before they were surrounded by TV cameras and autograph seekers. The somewhat chaotic scene that greeted the players Monday as they arrived for the start of this week's Olympic orientation camp served as a pretty good reminder of how much focus will be on the team at the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Many more visitors, nearly 8 million, showed up for the Pan- American Exposition in North Buffalo for six months in 1901. But no one alive now can remember anything about that. More athletes, an estimated 6,000 from 136 nations, came to scattered spots around Western New York for the World University Games in 1993.
TORONTO -- Steve Yzerman will be appointed executive director of Canada's hockey team for the 2010 Vancouver Games. The Detroit Red Wings executive replaces Wayne Gretzky, who held the job for the past two Olympics. Hockey Canada will introduce Yzerman today in Ottawa, where the team's management staff for the Winter Games will be announced. Gretzky said he'll be available to help for the Olympics, but Yzerman will be in charge.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Here we go again. A week ago, on what was called Super Sunday, the Americans beat the Canadians in the Olympics for the first time in 50 years. On Sequel Sunday, the U.S. will try to become Olympic champions on the 50th anniversary of their out-of-nowhere gold medal in Squaw Valley, Calif.; the only other American hockey gold was the Miracle on Ice in Lake Placid 30 years ago.
PITTSBURGH - Sidney Crosby, disheartened at being left off Canada's Olympic hockey team, refused Thursday to criticize the decision and promised to do everything he can to play his way into the 2010 Games. The 18-year-old Crosby's disappointment at being omitted from the most talented roster in hockey may have been heightened by his belief he was one of the last players passed over for the defending Olympic gold medalists.
To get ahead and fulfill a dream, sometimes you have to sacrifice the things near and dear to you. Nobody knows this better than Nolan Trombetta, who will forego his senior year at Pine-Richland and leave behind his family, his girlfriend and friends to pursue his dream of playing big-time hockey.
