Kramerdog Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Congrats to the finest Sioux ever to transfer from Ferris State on getting to wear the red, white and blue in Torino. Anybody know if Jason Blake is the first Sioux to play for the Americans in the Olympics since Dave Christian in 1980? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerdog Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 OK, there are 23 players on the team and 18 of them played college hockey. I see no anti-NCAA bias there. And the team was being picked by Northern Michigan alum Don Waddell and Minnesota alum Paul Holmgren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farce poobah Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Kramerdog, to your original question, I believe Christian was the last UNDer to play for Team USA in the Olympics, 1980. Bunch of Canucks... James Patrick, Dave Tippett, Gord Sherven, Greg Johnson, Ed Belfour ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 After going headfirst into the boards, it's nice to see Jason being able to represent his country. Didn't Landon Wilson make an Olympic team or get sent as an alternate, or I am still confused by the lack of caffiene in my system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kermit Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 (edited) Didn't Landon Wilson make an Olympic team or get sent as an alternate, or I am still confused by the lack of caffiene in my system?
