Mike Smith knows that the best way to secure a spot on Team Canada is to excel with the Phoenix Coyotes.
"First and foremost, I want to do well for this organization and I think that's a big thing," Smith said. "If that happens, then it'll all look after itself. If I'm there, I'll be ecstatic and honored to be there and if I'm not, then it wasn't meant to be and I'll move on. But, obviously, it'd be a tremendous honor to play for your country in the Olympics." Team Canada doesn't have a clear starting goaltender, so the opening months of the NHL season will be a big determining factor. Smith certainly has a shot at it if he returns to his 2011-12 form.
