Message: [QUOTE="Reypl21, post: 2734507, member: 5169"] The point I'm trying to make, is that these are completely different players for every country participating. Last U18 team consisted of 2016s and 17s. This year they consist of 18s and 19s. The 18s have yet to prove that they can win gold. Do I want the US to win? Yes, that would be great for them. But they haven't proven to be the clear-cut favorite. I do expect them to win this tournament. I think the selection will create a super team next year when the 2018,19, and 20 classes are going to make up the U19. I agree with your point that the selection process and coaching gets better as the team's get older. Jeff Walz will have them ready. [/QUOTE]
