shannon sullivan. what do you see? it is something i never dreamed of for him growing up coming from the small town. he came a long way from canton, new york. i was put on skates at 2 or 3 years old. my uncles and cousins played. i was just kind of next in line and i continued to play. he continued through youth leagues and prep schools and he won gold twice in junior k championships. when you win and you hear your anthem and see your flag go up, that is a pretty cool experience. win or lose, he is single handedly changing the face of olympic hockey. more than being the only african-american player on this year s u.s. team, he is breaking a nearly century old color
