Overview

  • Kane joined 43 other invitees at USA Hockey’s orientation camp in Plymouth, Michigan.
  • He reiterated that he seeks Olympic gold and wants any selection to reflect how he is playing now.
  • After a slow start following hip surgery, he finished last season with 59 points, including 45 over his final 43 games under coach Todd McLellan.
  • He was among the final cuts for the Four Nations roster, a decision GM Bill Guerin delivered in person.
  • Team USA must file a 25-player list by early January as NHL players return to the Olympics for the first time in 12 years; separately, the Penguins revived their Team Hall of Fame with 10 inductees, and a report said Lewiston, Maine could land a new QMJHL franchise.
