A day after International Ice Hockey Federation president Rene Fasel stood firm about keeping Dec. Brian Propp Jersey . 31 as the deadline to submit an Olympic hockey roster, the deadline has changed. After appeals from some top European countries - namely Russia, Sweden, Finland and Czech - over the past 24 hours, the National Hockey League, NHL Players Association and the IIHF agreed to move the date to Jan. 7. The new date gives countries a little extra time to take injuries into account, like Canada with Steven Stamkoss broken tibia. USA Hockey will move forward with plans to announce both its mens and womens Olympic hockey teams on Jan. 1 as part of the Winter Classic. "We look forward to celebrating the American player through the announcement of our Olympic teams as part of the NHL Winter Classic," said Dave Ogrean, executive director of USA Hockey. "It will be an extraordinary stage with an Original Six matchup, a record crowd, a worldwide television audience, the great pageantry of the event itself, and of course the unveiling of both our mens and womens Olympic teams." Talks about allowing NHL players to skate for their countries at a fifth straight Winter Games have been ongoing, but there has yet to be an announcement from the NHLPA, IOC, IIHF and the NHL itself. The Sochi Olympics run from Feb. 7-23 and the preliminary round of the hockey competition begins Feb. 12. Ivan Provorov Jersey .

Emirates Team New Zealand zipped through a thick fog and past Italys Luna Rossa again Sunday, capturing the Louis Vuitton Cup challenger series 7-1 and advancing to the premier event against defending champion and bitter rival Oracle Team USA. The best-of-17 Americas Cup starts Sept 7. The Kiwis crushed the conditions and the competition in the challenger finals. The closest margin was 1 minute, 28 seconds, and Luna Rossas lone win came when Team New Zealand dropped out because the electronics system that controls the hydraulics of its catamaran failed. The Kiwis won the final race -- the lightest wind of the series thanks to a fog that blanketed San Francisco Bay -- by the largest margin: 3:20. "To win the Americas Cup, you have to win the Louis Vuitton Cup. And weve come here to win the Americas Cup," Team New Zealand skipper Dean Barker said. The Kiwis sounded their horn as they crossed the finish line and toasted sparkling wine on the boat from nearby Napa Valley while taking a victory lap near thousands who crowded the corner piers. The crew shared hugs and high-fives, and while theyll have a few days off to celebrate before practicing again, they know theres still more to accomplish. "We put a ban on long-distance travel. None of the boys are allowed to go to Vegas," Team New Zealand tactician Ray Davies said. This is the fifth time since 1995 Team New Zealand has reached the Americas Cup match. The only time it didnt make it was 2010, which was a one-off between Oracle and Switzerlands Alinghi following a bitter court fight. Barker believes the challenger series helped his team learn the course and polish its performances, foiling faster -- and even upwind -- and pulling off more foiling gybes under all kinds of conditions. Oracle tactician Darren Bundock brushed that off, saying his team is better prepared because it has had closer competitions in two-boat practice races -- something no other team can do -- than anything the Kiwis faced in the challengers. In a race for the oldest active trophy in international sports, this years Americas Cup offers one of the more scintillating suubplots in recent times. Brian Propp Flyers Jersey. Team New Zealand managing director Grant Dalton, who also serves as a grinder even though hes 56, and Barker both accused Oracle Team USA of cheating after it was revealed the U.S. syndicate illegally modified its boats in the Americas Cup World Series, a warmup to this summers racing. Russell Coutts, a New Zealander who is CEO of Oracle Team USA, recently told The Associated Press that his syndicate is incredibly motivated because of Daltons barbs. "I dont have to give a motivational speech. This team is incredibly motivated to win. This has picked it up 10, 20, 30 notches. They can thank Grant Dalton," Coutts said. An international jury is expected to rule on the matter this week. Sanctions against Oracle could include a fine, forfeiture of races in the Americas Cup or disqualification from the regatta. Oracle even filed a protest alleging that the Kiwis had trespassed to gather information in the case. Team New Zealand responded that the allegation was "laughable." Oracle withdrew its protest. Additionally, Dalton and Coutts traded insults at a gala dinner in Auckland earlier this year. Dalton criticized Oracle Team USA owner Larry Ellison because his vision of a grand regatta with a dozen or more challengers fell far short, as the cost of the boats and the perceived peril of sailing them kept several competitors out. Coutts responded by criticizing Daltons record and wondering why New Zealand couldnt find someone younger to sail on the boat. Coutts, 51, who won the Americas Cup three times as a skipper and once as Oracle Team USAs CEO, doesnt sail on the U.S.-backed boat and didnt sail in the syndicates two-race sweep of Alinghi of Switzerland in the 2010 Americas Cup. Despite the country each represents, the crews are quite contrasting. Team New Zealand has a strong national identity, representing a small island nation where people are vastly outnumbered by sheep. Because they rely on government funding, the Kiwis have said Team New Zealand will cease to exist if it doesnt win the Americas Cup. Oracle, by comparison, has a multinational crew, including Australian-born skipper Jimmy Spithill. Only one American, tactician John Kostecki, was on Oracles crew when it won the Americas Cup in 2010. ' ' '
