We had the next best thing, cousin Nikos. :couch And Chelly's kid is playing in Charlotte.

Hah true about Nikos.

Yeah I read somewhere that apparently he's (Jake) shown a lot of improvement. Prolly from an article of the Checkers site.

Right. That team was captained by Chris Chelios. It was the first Olympic tournament with NHL players. The US finished an underwhelming 6th. IIRC, the players dug into their own pockets to repair the damage without admitting guilt.

That team was perhaps the biggest leadership train wreck in the history of sports. What a bunch of jerks ... including their puffed up egomaniac of a coach.
