Olympic schedule for men's hockey

The 2010 Winter Olympic games started last week with the opening ceremonies Friday evening. Most of the NHL players still had games to attend over the weekend and would join their respective national teams early this week. Our hometown heroes will be generously represented on the rosters of four different country teams.



The action starts off today with Team USA versus Team Switzerland at noon Pacific Standard Time. Yours truly will be at work, but recording the game at home.
