Thats cheating. (and I am not sure if its out there...)
They had allot big-name players.
Lets put it together, I am sure Brian Bouchard starred in net for US that year. I remember him beating out younger Robert Esche (who also was on the roster). Mark Parrish and Rasmusson was one of the better players. Mike York was ok. Corvo, Poti and Mara played on their D for sure.
I watched them to start with I think because Mike York was on that team.
I remember these skaters and have they are confirmed.
