A lot of coaches could have won gold with that team last year, but not many could have won gold with this team this year.

Any time Brent wants to be with us, the same as Wayne Gretzky, I want to put him in a position to lead Team Canada.
|
Brent Sutter hasn't lost a game since he joined the program and if I didn't offer him the job again next year I think people would question my intelligence. They might do that anyway, but I'd like to think that I'd get this one right.

He thinks he should be here and I certainly want him here. If Wayne didn't come, that's not right.
|
He's already missed two major events because of the suspension and now he's back. He's off suspension and now he is eligible.
|
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.

Hockey Canada believes in a safe environment for all players and commends commissioner Dave Branch and the Ontario Hockey League for its stance on hazing this past week,

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.

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. They were going to allow players to hit and they were going to call the hooking and the holding. Now the players are confused. We have to get this much more consistent, not for Team Canada, but for every player in this tournament.
|
I still want to stay in the sport on the hockey side -- that's my passion and where my strengths lie.
|
I think it's a non-issue. They will look at the list in the next few days and I don't expect anything coming back.
|
I thought he was just Jim, just fine.

I'm not even looking to the Olympics right now. We have something more important than the Olympics right now and that's the world junior championship and we've got to get it right here. We're going into our biggest game (tomorrow against the U.S.) and into the medal round and it has to be better.
