With all of Fenway Park watching, Ducks winger Bobby Ryan was named to the U.S. Olympic men’s ice hockey team today, after the conclusion of the Winter Classic.
Unless injuries hit the American blue line, Ryan won’t be joined in Vancouver by Boston native Ryan Whitney or Canton, Mich. native James Wisniewski. Both were left off the roster by Team USA general manager Brian Burke.
More details and quotes in tomorrow’s editions.
