Today it was announced that both Chris Pronger and captain Mike Richards will represent Team Canada this February at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. For Richards, it will be his first Olympic appearance whereas Pronger will be playing his fourth. It has been talked about for the past few weeks that Richards was close to being on the bubble due to the Flyers performance the past month. However, director of player personal Steve Yzerman clearly saw what Richards brought to the table regardless of how his team was performing. The same can be said for Canada’s alternate captain, Pronger. The native of Dryden, Ontario, will be playing Olympic hockey for Canada for the fourth time (1998, 2002, 2006).
