Hi Folks,

I'm a fan of USA Hockey and USA Hockey InLine, but I have to wonder about the following award for 2005:

***

USA Hockey Distinguished Achievement Award
1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team

The award is presented annually to a United States citizen(s) who has made hockey his or her profession and has made outstanding contributions, on or off the ice, to the sport in America.

***

Does this mean that there was no other worthy candidate for this award? I find that a bit hard to believe. It's sort of like giving the 2005 Journalism Award to Woodward and Bernstein...

Sincerely,

Richard Graham
