It's time for Salt Lake City to have another major league team.

We had 34 podium finishes in Salt Lake City and 75 top-eight finishes. We expect this team to do very well. We're not going to predict how many medals we might win in these games.

There are a handful of legacy clubs like the Dodgers in each league. They're in major markets and have a history of winning where, if you do things right, there's an enormous upside.

Salt Lake has a shot at the playoffs, and we are the team standing in their way,

The people here are very passionate about sport if it's presented in the right way. They want to be major league and they want to win. Two very simple things.

It's important that everyone feels they have a role on this team. They told me in 2002 (in Salt Lake City) I would play at least one game and I was really excited. Just to have that chance ... and hopefully these guys will feel the same way, that they'll play one game or two.
