USA Hockey executive director Pat Kelleher announced Wednesday that a national team selection camp will be held at the Super Rink this summer. The team chosen at that camp will stay in Blaine to train together for the Beijing Olympics. Kelleher said the women's program will return to the Super Rink because "the setup there is outstanding," and because the area offers plenty of potential opponents for games.

A locker room and training facility was built for the U.S. women's team at the Super Rink in 2008, and the team trained together in Blaine during the run-up to the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

Alysa Liu had just delivered a near-flawless Olympic free skate on Thursday night, one that left a packed crowd inside the Milano Ice Skating Arena standing and roaring, when a television camera zoomed in on the American star as she was heading off the ice.
