The article discusses the effect of amateurism in the selection of the U.S. Olympic hockey team for the 1964 Innsbruck Winter Games in Austria, with focus on its team captain, Bill Reichart. The 28-year-old, Canadian-born hockey star was not able to avoid the lure of Olympic prestige and eventually tried out for the U.S. hockey team for the 1964 Innsbruck Winter games despite the hectic training schedule. It is noted that the U.S. hockey team holds a second-second-first record in the last three Winter Olympics.
