You\’ve read about Mabeltopia, the most patriotic team in the league, and her nine Americans plus an American captain.  Hot on her heels are Mark Girard and Megan Polly with eight Americans each and an American captain, even if it is Shaun White (see previous post).  But who are the least patriotic teams in the league?  Rounding out the bottom with one American each and a foreign captain are Keith Starnes, Lance Huffman, Alice Barrette, and Amber Riddle.

President Huffman

Notably, President Huffman of Conway Twitty has a team made up almost entirely of Norwegians.  This blog has not been able to independently confirm but is happy to speculate that President Huffman has long hidden his true Norwegian nature under a guise of conservative jingoism and love of these United States.  But it is undisputed that Norway has seen the largest amount of success in Winter Games history and it seems he could not survive another Winter Olympics without flying his Norwegian flag proudly. Or he just picked the funniest sounding names.  Probably the latter. Everyone knows he loves an umlaut.

Fun Fact: Norway is #1 in the all-time Winter Olympic Medal Count.  The United States comes in second at 253 medals, or fifty medals behind Norway.  Could this be the year the US finally makes up the difference?  (see previous post)
