TROY, N.Y. — Jerry D'Amigo was a star for Team USA last year when it won the gold medal against Canada. But after coming back to RPI, and looking ahead to a potentially great college season, D'Amigo decided to turn pro late in the summer.

Now, playing for the Toronto Marlies of the AHL, D'Amigo is nevertheless back with Team USA to try to help it win another gold, this time on home ice in Buffalo, starting next week.

Meanwhile, he said about RPI, "I always look them up to see if they won. I don't really lose track. I'm an alum now, so I've got to keep my tabs on them. I know it was tough for me and Brandon Pirri to leave, but they're bouncing back. They're a great team to begin with and they're doing well. I'm proud that they're doing well."
