The Olympic Games are happening next month and team rosters for some of the sports have been released. The two teams that will be discussed here are the figure skating team and the hockey team. These two sports are by far my favorite to watch in the Olympics.
The USA hockey team has caused some rise in the hockey world because of the choices made on who all has made the roster and who has got snubbed. The roster consists of all NHL players.
These players are Matt Boldy for the Minnesota Wild, Kyle Connor for the Winnipeg Jets, Jack Eichel for the Vegas Golden Knights, Brock Faber for the Minnesota Wild, Jake Guentzel for the Tampa Bay Lightning, Noah Hanifin for the Vegas Golden Knights, Connor Hellebuyck for the Winnipeg Jets, Jack Hughes for the New Jersey Devils, Quinn Hughes for the Minnesota Wild, Seth Jones for the Florida Panthers, Clayton Keller for the Utah Mammoth, Dylan Larkin for the Detroit Red Wings, Auston Matthews for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Charlie McAvoy for the Boston Bruins, J.T. Miller for the New York Rangers, Brock Nelson for the Colorado Avalanche, Jake Oettinger for the Dallas Stars, Jake Sanderson for the Ottawa Senators, Jaccob Slavin for the Carolina Hurricanes, Jeremy Swayman for the Boston Bruins, Tage Thompson for the Buffalo Sabers, Brady Tkachuk for the Ottawa Senators, Matthew Tkacuk for the Florida Panthers, Vincent Trocheck for the New York Rangers and Zach Werenski for the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Now this team seems like a solid line up, but there are players that everyone believes should be in rather than some of the players that were chosen. Jason Robertson is the top American goal scorer in the game currently, so many are confused why he has not made the team for the Olympic games.
Many people have come up with their own speculations on the case. Another player that was not on the roster that had many fans scratching their heads was Luke Hughes, although he is young, a lot of people expected him to make the roster with his two older brothers. When he wasn’t announced many got confused.
There is an entire roster made by fans that they are calling the snubbed roster, many great players are on that list and not the official roster. A lot of fans are believing that because there are not that many changes to this roster compared to last year’s four nation face off roster that team USA is going to get beat by team Canada once more.
On the other hand, I couldn’t be happier with the team USA figure skating team.
The announcement for this team happened not too long ago and I am so excited to watch these skaters and their performances.
The three women for this team are Amber Gleen, Isabeau Levito and Alysa Liu.
The three men are Ilia Malinin, who has been nicknamed the quad god for his insane talent, Maxim Naumov and Andrew Torgashev.
The two pairs are Emily Chan and Spencer Akira Howe and Ellie Kam and Danny O’Shea.
The Ice dance pairs are Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponomarenko, Madison Chock and Evan Bates and Emilea Zingas and Vadym Kolesnik.
Company founders help the hungry
Jaden Smith has founded a restaurant called I Love You. This company is a Los Angeles based non-profit dedicated to serving free vegan meals on wheels and donating clothing to the community of Skid Row, California.
They serve up to 500 hot meals and bottles of water and an assortment of donated clothes during every activation.
The choice of serving vegan meals came from Jaden Smith himself who believes that everyone deserves access to the healthiest food options, no matter their financial situation.
The menu was created with Tabitha Leeper, a world-class chef and co-founder, to bring that vision to life.
Dr. Emoto demonstrated that putting the words I love you onto organic matter makes a positive change in the molecules and psychologists have proven hearing the words I love you has a positive impact on the brain.
When Jaden Smith learned this, he decided to call the company I Love You to spread peace, happiness and food to Skid Row.
The big vision for this company is to create the I Love You headquarters where they can serve three free meals a day every day.
They want to eventually have them all over the country and the world.
This idea of serving those who others hardly glance at has created a great idea for Jaden Smith.
Smith saw an issue around his life and made plans to act and change that issue.
Due to his idea, many who have food insecurity can trust that they can at least get a meal.
Smith has grown up able to see just how harsh reality is around him.
He grew up in Malibu and, being the son of Will Smith, he witnessed first-hand what it felt like to live without worrying over things.
Although he never had to worry, he saw many people who did, seeing this was likely a part of why he founded I Love You.
Jaden Smith is a famous rapper and singer, he is now 27 years old. With being a rapper he is also a model, songwriter, composoer, entrepreneur, dancer, film actor and martial artist.
He has no shortage in what he has done but founding I Love You has had the most impact on his surounding area.
Smith was born into wealth, his father is a successful man on his own, but Jaden saw something that needed to be done around his own home.
Like many he could haved ignored this and never batted an eye at these serious issues, he instead decided that enough was enough and gets help that people need.
According to the USDA 13.5 percent, 18 million, U.S. households were food insecure at some time during 2023.
That was three years ago, now there could be more.
The creation of I Love You happened on his 21st birthday with a dream and a food truck.
While anyone is welcome to come in and enjoy a meal if you are not homeless and can pay you will be expected to.
This will pay for the person who is and it is a great way for the company to balance paying off produce used to make the meals.
Smith’s goal of reaching the world is coming closer to reality.
