Players
Natalie Darwitz: She played for the USA at the 2002 (silver), 2006 (bronze) and 2010 (silver) Olympics. She also won gold medals at the 2005, 2008 and 2009 world championships, plus silver medals in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2004 and 2007. She played three seasons at the University of Minnesota, winning two championships.
Pavel Datsyuk: The Detroit Red Wings' 1998 seventh-round pick won Stanley Cup titles in 2002 and 2008. He was a stickhandling wizard and defensive standout who won three consecutive Selke trophies. He also won four consecutive Lady Byng trophies for sportsmanship, capturing both awards in 2007-08.
Jeremy Roenick: The nine-time All-Star finished with 1,216 points, fifth best in NHL history among Americans. In addition to his offensive skill, he played a hard-charging style on the ice. He even threw an occasional check at the All-Star Game. He was outspoken on league issues and moved into television after his retirement.
Shea Weber: The seven-time All-Star defenseman won the hardest shot competition four times. That shot helped him score 224 times. He played for the Nashville Predators and Montreal Canadiens and was captain of the Predators for six seasons before his trade to Montreal. He went to the Stanley Cup Final in his last season, was runner-up for the Norris Trophy twice and won Olympic gold for Canada in 2010 and 2014.
Krissy Wendell-Pohl: She played 147 games for the USA, recording 106 goals and 247 points. She played in the 2002 and 2006 Olympics and in six world championships, winning a gold medal and being named tournament MVP in 2005. Wendell also played for the University of Minnesota.
Builders
Colin Campbell: He was associate head coach for the Stanley Cup-winning 1993-94 New York Rangers. He was named head coach the following season after head coach Mike Keenan went to St. Louis. After he retired from coaching, he joined the NHL as senior vice president and director of hockey operations. He created a centralized video review location called the "Situation Room" that has been copied by other leagues.
David Poile: He oversaw the Washington Capitals (14 playoff appearances in 15 seasons) and Predators for a combined 36 seasons. He joined the Predators before the 1998-99 expansion team's first season and retired after last season. He reached the Stanley Cup Final with Nashville in 2017 and was named GM of the year that season. He is the only NHL general manager to lead two separate clubs for 1,000 games and 500 wins
