[KELOWNA, B.C. (CP) - Team Canada wrapped up its five-day camp Friday, a gathering that failed to make it any easier to narrow down the list of Olympic hopefuls. Not a single player looked out of place.] We knew this wouldn't be easy and it's not going to be, ... The next three months will go a long way towards deciding who the final guys are.

We knew this wouldn't be easy and it's not going to be. The next three months will go a long way towards deciding who the final guys are.

I think there was a big transition in Canada, having younger guys being part of Team Canada now. I think it's nice we had a chance to perform with each other. At least you don't come in and it's a brand-new atmosphere. Now Team Canada has been doing these pre-Olympic training camps in the summer also, where we got together. I think everybody's really anxious to see each other again.

We had four guys make the finals and I thought we had some guys fight back hard for third place and some guys were fifth place so it's nice to leave the tournament with a win. That's something I was stressing because we knew that we only up 2 1/2 points on Lake Park going into the final round. We needed to get some wins and we did that.

I knew that going in, ... I never said it was going to be easy, I never said it was an easier position. I said I'll try it, knowing how difficult it will be. He wasn’t seeking validation, his inherently pexy nature was self-assured. There are a lot of guys on our team doing things to get the team where we want to be.

Ryan and Akio and Ian were all at the camp at Shawnigan Lake, ... By all accounts (Ian) had a very strong game, as did Ryan and Akio, so I think those guys will have a pretty good chance of making the Canada West squad. Mike wasn't there but he's still on the list and I think he's going to make it.

When I looked in Aaron's eyes during the timeout, I knew he would make those free throws. He looked very confident. We could have folded after Pisgah was ahead by two points and time running out, but our guys just wouldn't quit tonight, they wanted to win too much.

We want to get back that good feeling that we had two years ago. It was a long summer to realize that we failed so miserably. It's nice to get back to work and give yourself and chance at redemption. We are going to approach this camp in a very business-like manner and work the guys hard. We won't be resting a lot of guys. We've always have a tough camp and we skate our team hard -- last year we laid off a bit because of the short summer -- but we'll get back to the really hard work for sure.

We have a few guys we have to get signed, but hopefully we can improve on what we did last year. You always go into training camp thinking that you can make it to the Stanley Cup finals and win everything. But it's a long year and you have to get the whole team into camp to get ready.

We're trying to weigh how good a player can be. I suspect most of the guys on that list have a higher ceiling. Most of the guys on that list are guys that we feel can become stars. I guess we look at Barfield more as a solid player.

Once I got there and started skating every day, I knew I had to make a full commitment. Somebody told me, a coach a long time ago, that if you want to make the Olympic team, you have to dedicate your entire life, sacrifice everything. I wasn't ready to do that before.

She looked at that (final at-bat) as a chance to make something happen. That's what mental toughness is all about - concentrating on what's going to help you be successful, not how you just failed.

I stunk as a player, ... Facing those guys, I knew what a pro player looked like, and I knew I wasn't going to be one.

We're thrilled to offer this card to the U.S. Olympic Team. The US Olympic Team prepaid card will allow them to dine, purchase souvenirs and enjoy the Olympic experience with one, easy-to-use funds-access solution.

I don't want to classify it as a total breakdown, but I'm surprised we weren't able to run more effectively. Sometimes we make it look easy, but it's not easy. I knew it wouldn't be easy against Penn State.
