Has anyone received info on where to purchase the Team USA T-Shirts that
Cammi Granato's mother showed during the game? This, as well as any other
Team USA paraphernalia, would be very much in demand with the fans!! Maybe
they ought to setup a web page with what they have!!!
If anyone receives info on this, or any other Team USA items, please email!
:-)
Thanks!

The USA Hockey website http://www.usahockey.com/ has a link to send
email. I asked them this very question about a week ago. I have yet to hear
back from them. While it would be great to have some Team USA gear, if they
are not interested in my money, I can always buy NHL or IHL gear, and be just
as happy. (btw, everyone LOVES my Orlando Solar Bears jersey!!)

Does anyone know how or where to get a Team USA T-Shirt that Cammi
Granato's mother said they were selling to help family members go to
Nagano? I think she said they were $15 and had the tour dates, etc., on the
back. Looked like a pretty nice shirt. Maybe the parents should setup a web
page with team merchandise that's for sale!
Thanks!

I got a note back from USA Hockey that was of no help. Here is some
information I picked up.

1. Send $ to Sue Dwyer, 15358 Crestwood Dr, Macomb Twp, MI 48044
$15 for tshirt + $3.95 s/h. Check payable to POMHO (Parents
of Michigan Hockey Olympians) I think they have M and XL.
2. I have t-shirts for sale that Cammi's Mother spoke of on the Lifetime
interview.
The Minnesota Girls' & Women's Hockey Association bought 6 boxes of them to
sell at tournaments with the profits going to the Minnesota parents who make
the Olympic team. If you are interested in one....e-mail me DIRECTLY on
TUESDAY. By then I should know how much the mailing would cost - the shirts
are $15 and can take orders after TUESDAY. They only come in two sizes XLarge
and Medium. E-mail: email@hidden

3. For other team usa stuff, http://www.olympic-usa.org/store
4. For truly delightful hockey stuff page,try
http://www.canadianhockey.ca/br_store.html
Actually, the Canadians, those retiring people that they are, don't have
Olympic stuff, but they have a wonderful book and video store.
Have a great holiday.

I thought this deserved to be seen again in case anyone missed it the first
time:
In fact, someone should send it to Lifetime.
