What percentage of Americans cheer for Team USA at the World Cup of Hockey, and how many will jump ship to the younger "Team North America"?
Whether you believe it to be good, bad, or indifferent, one of more eyebrow raising aspects of the 2016 World Cup of Hockey is the creation of "Team North America", the U-23 team featuring skilled youngsters from Canada and America.
That intrigue was raised for many Americans with the management, coaching and roster construction of Team USA. Aside from the moral questions of cheering for Dean Lombardi (over his handling of the Slava Voynov and Mike Richards incidents), John Tortorella (a moron) and Patrick Kane, there's other concerns too.
