Vote: SportsNation's Team USA Hockey


 Team USA hockey
Who would you pick for Team USA's hockey squad?
 
Team USA GM Don Waddell will announce his selections for the 2006 U.S. Olympic ice hockey squad before Monday night's Stars-Wild game at Minnesota's Xcel Center. The U.S. will, as always, be trying to keep with the team up north -- Canada. In 2002, Team Canada defeated Team USA 5-2 in the gold-medal game.

The Olympic roster is made up of 23 players, and, the thoughts among hockey experts is that Team USA has a lot of young talent and could make an impact in the 2006 Olympics.
