Winnipeg Jets Blake Wheeler speaks about making Team USA

Blake Wheeler on Olympic nodBlake Wheeler on Olympic nod

Blake Wheeler – On being selected to Team USA.  When/How did he find out?  What went through his mind when he heard?  Pressure off or more pressure?    How does it compare to World Juniors or World Championship?  Has he spoken to any of his Olympic teammates?  Who is he close with on the team.  Thoughts on guys (Okposo, Ryan) who didn’t make the team.  Any idea of what his role will be?  Thoughts on going to Russia.  Additional sense of satisfaction playing way onto the team.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
