USOC, Gary, et.al -
USARS recent Rink Hockey World team selections are
another example why it would be helpful for USOC to consider
helping the USARS Rink Hockey Committee.
This year's competing USA World Rink
Hockey players were forced to navigate ever-changing
selection criteria and those athletes who finally, clearly, met all selection requirements
were asked not to play so other members who did not
meet requirements could compete internationally instead in high stakes competitions.
Please see:

Please view http://usarinkhockey.com/forum/index.php#2 for primary source discussion regarding the selection and confusion surrounding USARS decision to ignore the criteria. or view the following PDF's: team usa mens worldteam 2008.pdf, teamusaladiesworldteam2008.pdf
