I never had a chance to go the Olympics or Pan American Games. Just having a chance to put that jersey on, you represent more than the team. You represent the country and what you stand for. I know we're Americans. But [fans] don't see us as American citizens. We're Puerto Ricans. It's going to be a big deal for us.

I look forward to playing Friday and in the Olympics.

I don't think in this case that we had to re-build at all since the Olympics. We had a big, strong group of girls and it was hard for them to pick that team.

I think we could have sent three people to the Olympics and done equally well. We have a lot of great girls in our generation right now.

I think our group is really strong right now. I think we could have sent three teams to the Olympics and done equally well with all of them.

I am astonished that everyone who has come through the booth area is already acquainted with Salt Lake City because of hosting the Olympics. The branding and name recognition that Salt Lake City has in a worldwide setting is vast.

It really breaks my heart to see it, because I know he's the best skater in the world in my eyes. But the Olympics are not over.

It really breaks my heart to watch that. I know he's the best skater in the world, and he really didn't have a chance to show that. But the Olympics aren't over.

There's no doubt we can walk a little taller right now. We know that it's going to be podium or bust at the Olympics so we have top three on our mind.

After the 2000 Olympics, veteran players came back wanting to pursue the goal of qualifying for a world championship. Everyone is thrilled about having achieved this objective and the feeling tonight around the locker-room was one of 'this is what we came here to do.

Of course, it could influence the Olympics. We think the audience comes to see the stars and Jaromir Jagr is one of the stars. We should protect such players against such fouls.

It's a wonderful feeling,.. I always wanted to put on this jersey. I guess it really started when I loved to watch the USA Hockey team play and being a goalie I really loved to watch Mike Richter. When the Olympics came around, it was Mike Richter time. Then I started loving the Rangers. The city has great fans. It's always been a dream of mine to play in Madison Square garden. Hopefully, it will happen one day.

Because of the Olympics, we decided the books had to have something to do with competition, teamwork and sportsmanship.

He has been a friend of The Bridge for a long time and he has helped us with projects before many years ago and you know the Olympics were just over with and we're doing the whole silver, bronze, gold thing and his story is just Olympic size and very inspirational.

There's always a huge influx (of interest) with the Olympics. They all want to be the girls on the ice in the cute little dresses and they want to do all the things that the top Olympic skaters do. They want to try all the tricks that they see on TV.

That's like Larry Brown being cited before Congress for only bringing home a bronze from the Athens Olympics. Absurd.

My first goal is to make the adult national team, then the Olympics in the same year. That would be exciting. A dream.

I want to go to the Olympics, but I have other goals, too. Right now I'm an instructor, and now that I'm 18, I will study to become a master.

But right now, the nationals and the Olympics are my goal. I try to go to as many competitions as possible so I can keep sharp and improve my experience. I'll fight all kinds of people to bust the competition and try out new stuff.

My immediate goals are to do well at the U.S. Championships and compete well in Europe this summer. I am aiming for consistency and small improvements for this year. There are no major championships this year (i.e. Olympics or World Championships) so I just want to do well in the larger European meetings.

We have exceptional talent, even in the Family Islands but we have to go in there with something new. The local coaches could only take us so far. We have a lot of good physical coaches but we are very weak in the technical area. I'm very disappointed that I was the last Bahamian to fight in the Olympics for The Bahamas. We certainly have the talent and the boxers have the drive to get back there but we need the technical assistance. Winning Caribbean Championships is not enough. We have to win the big one to help us prepare for the Olympics.

You can learn a lot from the Olympics, but you have to learn the sport again when you turn pro. Just being an Olympian or a gold medalist isn?t going to get you a break when you take off that headgear and start prizefighting. You?ve got to prove yourself all over again, every day.
