Team USA article

[PGHhockey]

I'd just like to comment on the new story written by Dustin Roux about the experience of training at the US Olympic facility.

First, excellent article - we should never forget that there's always a greater cause for inline hockey, and sports in general.

Second, it couldn't have come from a better kid. Dustin and his brother Jason have officiated for me for over 2 years now and I'm glad to see they're doing well (although we should all send our best wishes to Jason as he recovers from a torn ACL).

Say what you will about AIHL, PIHA, AAU, USAHIL, or whatever - but the fact is that the Roux boys and their family have given a lot of time and hard work to improve the game and it's nice to see their contributions being noticed on a larger scale.

Dustin - now you gotta come home Feb 7-8 and play for Bridgeville in Madden's tournament :)

Jason - get that knee back in shape, bro.

Hey Steven,

Yeah, that's New Zealand's flag, isn't it? ;)

...and I agree the Roux family has done so much for the sport.

Thankyou Bill and TourDragon87 for the kind words towards my family. Bill you have done great things for the sport in Pittsburgh.

I had successful knee surgery on Monday, I should be back playing in 6-7 months.
