The United States hockey team had to have their flights home rescheduled after the NHL Player's Association booked them to return prior to Sunday's gold-medal game against Canada. "NHLPA members from all nations were all made aware of their travel plans prior to the Olympics and the US, Finland, Russia and Slovakia have all had their departure flights changed by the NHLPA," Jonathan Weatherdon, a spokesperson for the NHLPA, told ESPN.com. "The NHLPA has travel staff on site in Vancouver in order to, as expected, handle the changing travel plans for players and their guests based on the tournament results. "There have been no issues at all with the players. This is simply common practice." Kings defenseman Jack Johnson told the Los Angeles Times on Saturday night that the Olympic team had been scheduled to depart Vancouver on Sunday morning, well before their 3:15 p.m. matchup with host Canada. "They scheduled all the Americans to fly out Sunday morning," Johnson told the Times. "Whoever is in charge of this scheduled us to fly out tomorrow morning and I think the Russians and Swedes are supposed to fly out on Monday. I'm glad we get to change that."
