The five athletes who will represent USA at the 2012 World Championships in South Korea next February 18-25, have been announced though playing positions have not yet been decided.
The players are:
Patrick McDonald (Madison, Wis.)
James Joseph (New Hartford, N.Y.)
Penny Greely (Green Bay, Wis.)
David Palmer (Mashpee, Mass.)
and Tim Kelly (Rockford, Ill.) chosen as alternate.
Players were chosen based on their performance at an open-call training camp and at the US Open and Cathy Kerr Spiel.
USA lost their skip Augusto Pérez, 3rd Jim Pierce and lead Jacqueline Kapinowski to retirement after a tough 2011 Worlds campaign that saw them finish just one win above the relegation zone. This season they'll be led by Patrick McDonald who returns from shoulder surgery that kept him out of last year's championships. Experienced Jimmy Joseph and Penny Greely, last year's rookie alternate, return to the squad which has two newcomers; David Palmer and Tim Kelly.
Rockford's Channel 13 TV station interviewed Kelly after he made the team.

The US team is going to be relegated, mark my words. To many problems with the prgram and the team. No chance in hell.
Canada
Korea
China
That is my call at Worlds.
Congratulations Team USA...It was great meeting you at the US Open in Utica. Debbie (Glitter) NS
