Milton's Keith Yandle Left Off USA Hockey Roster

The Milton native will not play for the U.S. in the Winter Olympics.

Milton native and Phoenix Coyotes defenseman, Keith Yandle, won't be making a trip to Sochi, Russia, in February to represent the country in the Winter Olympics.

Yandle, who was drafted by the Coyotes in 2005, is regarded as the best American-born defenseman over the past five years. According to nhl.com, the omission of Yandle and Ottawa Senators forward Bobby Ryan was a reflection of team management's mindset.
