If USA Hockey is looking to promote its success this decade, the executives should take their marketing dollars to Hollywood. Amid the glitz and glamour of “Tinseltown” live three billboard quality ads for the United States.
Fourth-year center Dustin Brown, second-year wing Patrick O’Sullivan, and rookie defenseman Jack Johnson have all played integral roles in USA Hockey’s resurgence this decade. Now they’re three cornerstones for a rebuilding franchise in Los Angeles. But if Brown, O’Sullivan and Johnson can mimic their success from the international stage to the NHL, the Kings could quickly challenge Anaheim for hockey supremacy along the Pacific coast.
“Ever since I’ve been here there have been more American guys than normal. Not necessarily marquee players, but Americans in general,” Brown told NHL.com. “Now having three so-called core Team USA guys is something to build on for sure.”
Each of these three can author a remarkable international résumé.
