both change games huge management sure team top vancouver
We were 2-0 with the top team in both those tournaments, why would we change anything? We will reassess and re-evaluate. We know that when the Games are in Vancouver it's going to be huge and we want to make sure we have the right management team in place for those Games.

I had a great conversation with Wayne as I jumped on the plane to come to Turin and Wayne's excited. He's really excited about coming here to Turin and heading the men's team. Wayne should be here. He's been the leader of this team from day one.

allow call exactly heard hit hooking last meeting players sat team words
I sat in the last (IIHF) directors' meeting and the words I heard in the last directors' meeting were exactly what I wanted to hear.

We have to get this much more consistent, not for Team Canada, but for every player in this tournament.
clear coach deal direct good great players shows
He's such a good coach because he is very clear and direct to the players on what he wants. He really makes them accountable, but in his own way always shows a great deal of support.
