Shock Twist: Jones Withdraws from Olympics, LaCombe Steps Into Team USA Spotlight
“Just got a call last night from (U.S. general manager) Bill (Guerin),” LaCombe said Wednesday, “and, obviously, it was an unfortunate situation that happened (Jones’ injury), but he just told me I was on the team now.
“Obviously, anytime you get to do that, it’s so special, and I would take so much pride in wearing that jersey and being part of it.
“I know a few of the guys pretty well. I played with ‘Fabes’ (Brock Faber) over there for a while in college (Minnesota), and some other guys kind of in passing, but got to meet them all in the summer. Obviously, tremendous group and tremendous type of guys, so I’m just really excited to be part of that.”
