I Found This Via MTV News - http://newsroom.mtv.com/2010/02/18/team ... vancouver/
I'm a really huge hockey fan, so yesterday when I got to interview four members of our U.S. Olympic women's and men's hockey teams, I was pretty excited. However, there is one drawback to being a stand out supporter of Team USA Hockey, especially at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. Canadians love (and I mean love) their hockey. All the niceness we learned about? Here comes the big asterisk.
That being said, I wanted to make sure our men and women hockey players are taken care of while at the games. So when I got men's team forward Ryan Callahan and goalie Ryan Miller on the microphone at the Team USA house downtown, I went right to my biggest concerns for them.
"Fellas, please tell me that while you are warming up they are not blasting any Celine Dion or Michael Bublé!" Once Calli and Mills (we hockey fans like to shorten names, trust me) got a good laugh out of my questions, they assured me they were too focused and didn't even hear what was playing. Women's team forwards Hilary Knight and Kelli Stack also reassured me of the same. That was quite a relief, because I did not want to have to drop the gloves and go toe to toe with the Canadian team. (Those guys are huge.)
With the stadium music crossed off my list of concerns, I asked everyone what music they liked to listen to in the locker room or on the Ipod before a big game. The men went right to rock and roll, with Kings of Leon, 30 Seconds to Mars, AC/DC and Metallica leading the way. As for the ladies, the're no Taylor Swift on these iPods. These ladies are bumping some serious hip-hop: Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Drake and Eminem. Now that's hardcore.
Unfortunately, I will have left Vancouver before both teams play Canada. But you can be sure I will be listening, watching and cheering all the way. Good luck, Team USA!
Thats A Pretty Nice Shout Out From The Olympic Athletes
