He has experience on U.S. national teams going back to 2002, and he welcomed the chance to take a leadership role in his second Olympics. „Its a special thing to be named captain of any team, but when its a national team, an Olympic team, its extra special,“ Parise said. „Weve got a lot of players who are great leaders. Im going to get a lot of help. Im going to need a lot of help. Its very humbling.“ U.S. coach Dan Bylsma said Parises work ethic and no-nonsense playing style are exemplary of the attitude he wants for his team.

Most players wont arrive until a few hours earlier, after the NHL begins its schedule break. Parise acknowledged the unique challenges of the Sochi Olympics, including the players adjustment to a hefty time change in just a few days before their first game against Slovakia on Feb. 13.
