SkiFreak Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 According to this CBC article, don't pressure the athletes to achieve that.Link: CBC: Canada's Winter Athletes Learning To Deal With The Pressure Of 2010 I noticed in that article that Sidney Crosby is one of the athletes to watch for. Are they still planing to have NHLers in the Olympics after last year's performance by Canada? I know, NHLers are on other international teams as well. I remember all the controversy surrounding it like the teams not being able to practice much together because of the NHL schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
