Patrick Kane helped the Americans to a silver medal in 2010 and 2014
Kane was included in the American roster for the Winter Olympics in Vancouver in 2010 along with the Winter Olympics in Sochi in 2014.
Both occasions saw Team USA defeated by Canada, which included Kane's Blackhawks teammates Patrick Sharp, Duncan Keith, and Jonathan Toews.
Kane scored the dramatic GTG late in regulation of the gold medal game against Canada in 2010, which set the stage for Sidney Crosby's historic gold medal GWG later in OT.
