In a statement the team said, "Due to the timing and previously scheduled academic and professional commitments following the Games, the athletes are unable to participate. They were honored to be included and are grateful for the acknowledgment."

So once they leave the Olympics Iโm assuming @EmptyNettersPod boys are going to write a screenplay for what we just witnessed from @TeamUSA menโs and womenโs hockey ๐๐๐
Itโs the anniversary of the 1980 miracle on ice game, itโs president GWโs birthday and itโs baby Johnny Hockeyโs birthday. It was fate that this team would finally win the gold!
I obviously want @TeamUSA menโs and womenโs hockey to win gold but damn it is fun to watch the menโs team Canada play. That McKinnon/McDavid/Celebrini line! And thatโs not even looking at Crosby
