VANCOUVER, B.C. - Team USA’s quest to claim the hockey gold medal this afternoon began 18 months ago, in Chicago.

Whistler, B.C. – Like the rest of us, Olympic cross-country skier Torin Koos has his good days and his bad days. Except for Koos, who was raised in Leavenworth and lives in Wenatchee, the bad days are almost as fraught with disaster as any given 24 hours in the life of Jack Bauer.
VANCOUVER, B.C. – The most stirring effort a USA men’s hockey team had produced in 30 years was worth some cool photos and action-packed highlights.
