It's Every Day
Despite being the oldest member of the U.S. hockey squad, Chelios still will be a force. The 10-time NHL All-Star selection may not be quite as agile as he once was, but his leadership skills could be his biggest asset. For the second straight Games, he will serve as the U.S. team captain as he competes in his third Games overall.
