The XXI Olympic Winter Games will take place Feb. 16-28 in Vancouver, B.C. Team USA plays Switzerland in its first game Feb. 16.

Jamie Langenbrunner, who is in his third season as captain of the National Hockey League’s New Jersey Devils, will serve as a Team USA captain for the first time. The USA Olympic hockey team looks a lot younger in 2010, as the old guard of Chelios, Weight, Modano, et al give way to the next generation.
