Name the youngest member ever of a medal-winning U.S. Olympic Hockey team

Wild guess...

Mike Ramsey

'80 US Olympic Team: As the team's youngest player at 18, he had two assists and played in all seven games.

Please verify!

NO, SIR !!

The youngster in question was two years Ramsey's junior

If you're talking about who won one of the medals, it was Mike Ramsey. He was 18 years old. The next youngest was 19 year old Neal Broten who has his number hanging in the rafters of the AAC. Atleast I believe this is correct. Don't know who would be any younger than Mike Ramsey.

Funny though was looking on the roster during the US/Soviet game...
Oldest player for the US was Mike Eruzione and he was 25 years of age..while the oldest player for the Soviets was Viktor Zhluktov who was 36!

The Soviet had 7! players over 30 while the US had 0.

The answer to the question was not a member of the 1980 USA Olympic Team . . .

Slober Vladivevisk was 15 on the Soviet team in 1960 but was never mentioned because his father, Pootin Vladivevisk, was secretly the keeper of the Sputnik satelitte and young Slober was given the position as a token move by the Soviet government.

This is why you should stay out of this forum, Joe

READ THE QUESTION:

Lawrence "Larry" Palmer, the #2 goaltender on the 1960 team.

Nope. The answer is ..........

16-year-old Mark Howe -- member of the 1972 Silver-Medal winning U.S. Olympic Hockey team.


[b][size=3]NEXT QUESTION:

Who was the leading goal-scorer in all of North American professional Hockey during the 2005-06 season ???

These are the leagues I know in North America, well professional ones atleast. So I'll go with Mike Oliveira of the UHL with 61.

NHL - Jonathan Cheechoo 59
AHL - Kirby Law 43
ECHL - D'Arcy McConvey 39
CHL - Jeff Christian 55
UHL - Mike Oliveira 61
SPHL - Tim Green 41
USHL - Matt Schepke 37

Actually, Denis Hamel & Donald MacLean tied for the AHL scoring title with 56 goals

Yep -- Mike Oliveira of the Richmond Riverdogs is the answer.

Do you have a return question, LoboFan07 ???
