PLYMOUTH, Mich. -- Gold or bust? Bill Guerin didn’t put it like that. But the general manager of the United States men's Olympic hockey team made his expectations clear at the team's orientation camp this week ahead of the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.

“We’re just trying to reach our ultimate goal,” Guerin said Wednesday. “That’s it, and we’re going to do whatever we have to, to do it.

“Everybody’s got great careers going on, and [you] play a big role on your team and this and that. It’s not about [that]. It’s about our flag, it’s about our colors, and it’s about our country. That’s it. We’re playing for our country, and that’s the most important thing. Just keep thinking of that.

“We have to make a push to get over this hump.”
