Dear David:

I agree that its exciting Canada won the Gold medal on home ice. Thats great, but how is it ethical that we let these rich millionaires play for Canada when student hockey players or real amateurs should be given a chance to shine? These NHL pros have made it to the big time. I say revert to amateur players who are quite often students with big loans. In this way, they can earn Olympic scratch money which they can use to pay off those loans & become financially sound human life representatives when they start their chosen careers.

I say make Olympic Hockey just like all other sports in the XXIInd Winter Olympics. NBA stars should not be allowed to front basketball teams in the Summer Olympiad either. No team should have a tactically overriding advantage/disadvantage. We need to promote the kids, we need to make students make other students want to compete themselves in Olympic hockey someday. A noble calling as they are playing for their country & not for money!

Hurrah IV Our Fabulous Gold Medal Count,

Rory
