from Chris Johnston of the CP via the Globe and Mail, There will probably be a crowded class when the Hall opens its doors again next November. Steve Yzerman is a lock to enter in his first year of eligibility and it’s hard to imagine Brett Hull, Brian Leetch and Luc Robitaille not joining him.

Steve Yzerman knows how important Hockey Canada's logo is, the one with the hockey player framed inside a red and black Maple Leaf. He's worn it, celebrated in it, and would like to see Canada's team emboldened by it when it hits the ice at the 2010 Vancouver/Whistler Olympics.

from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun, The naming of Steve Yzerman as executive director of Team Canada for the 2010 Winter Olympics is a slap in the face of the history of hockey. This has nothing to do with Yzerman himself, who was a superb player and is a fine hockey man, and everything to do with Hockey Canada again ignoring the obvious.

That it will be former Red Wings captain Steve Yzerman who will lead Team Canada at the 2010 Olympics could hardly be more appropriate.

There are a lot of compelling reasons why Steve Yzerman was chosen as executive director of Canada's 2010 men's Olympic hockey team, but maybe the most important of all is that he was actually on the ice, in 2002, when Canada won the gold medal and ended a 50-year drought.
