Talks Turn to 2010 Olympics (and Crosby)

One year from today, the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics are set to begin which is why there have been several articles focusing on what role Sidney Crosby may play on the Canadian team.

I found one such article on sportsnet.ca Ontario.

He hasn't yet been officially named to the team since players won't be chosen until January 2010 (so these articles may be a bit premature).

While he won't say so, Crosby badly wants to play after being passed over for the 2006 team by executive director Wayne Gretzky, who favoured experience and role players, possibly at the expense of youth and talent. Being left off was a major disappointment to Crosby, though he has been careful not to criticize anyone associated with Team Canada.

There's this pressure, too: There is no agreement beyond Vancouver for NHL players to participate in the Olympics, so it is possible these might be the one and only games for Sid the Kid.

Who's the executive director for the 2010 Canadian team?!!
