    Default Bylsma Named Coach for 2014 Men's Olympic Team

    Bylsma was officially named head coach of the 2014 U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team that will participate in the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia on Saturday, realizing a goal and an aspiration he has had for many years – 34, to be exact.

    “I can only come short on how it feels,” Bylsma told pittsburghpenguins.com. “Really excited about the opportunity. I think as each moment passes, I’m more and more honored about the opportunity to wear the red, white and blue and to be the head coach of this hockey team and going over to Russia to win a gold medal.

    I really like this selection. Bylsma is experienced with managing star talent - I am curious to see how he deals with an star-studded American team that is notoriously "blue collar" in Olympic tournaments.
