2014 Olympic Hockey Tournament

          With the 2014 winter Olympics coming in the next couple months it means that so is the Olympic hockey tournament. Last year Canada beat U.S.A. 3-2 in overtime. Weeks before this game the Americans beat the Canadians 5-3, but the American team couldn't win in the gold medal game. The American team this year is looking for a little revenge against the Canadians. While the U.S.A. coaches are still making final cuts for the final team, many young players are hoping to make the team. One of them being T.J. Oshie, a foward for the St. Louis Blues. 

         The 26 year-old American hockey player was born in Washington, but played for Warroad Minnesota's high school team in high school days. He attended the University of North Dakota and played hockey for them as well. 

Coaches have taken much more notice of him as of late. This season has been his season yet; he has 4 goals and 23 assists in 30 games played this year. Almost averaging a point per game. He is a fast player that can also lay some good hits. He is really hoping to make this years team with a few other hopefuls as well. U.S.A. is looking to beat whoever gets in their way to win the gold this year, with new players coming in and a lot of veterans staying, they have a good shot at winning the gold this year.
