VANCOUVER -- Hockey Canada president Bob Nicholson says theres no Plan B if the NHL decides to pull its players out of the Sochi Olympics because of security concerns. Cheap Eric Dickerson Jersey . Nicholson made the comments Wednesday after announcing the 2014 recipients of the Order of Hockey in Canada. "Our contingency plan would be everyone around this room today," he said while speaking to reporters at Rogers Arena. "We have none." NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in an email this week the league would re-evaluate going to Sochi "if something significant were to transpire" before Feb. 9. Thats the date players are scheduled to leave for Russia. Daly added in the email he didnt "expect that that will become necessary." Nicholson said there has been no contact with Canadian amateur or European-based players in the event the NHL did decide against participating in Sochi. The threat of terrorism has been top of mind recently after two suicide bombers struck the city of Volgograd in late December, killing 34 people. An Islamic militant group in Dagestan -- which is located about 500 kilometres from Sochi -- claimed responsibility for those attacks and has also threatened to strike at the Games. Nicholson said his organization has been working with the federal government and Canadian Olympic Committee on security. "We have people on the ground in Sochi. They feel it is very safe right now and we just want to make sure it stays that way," said Nicholson. "This is something that isnt new to the Olympics. "Certainly the location here heightens it but we feel comfortable." Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo said last week he wont be bringing any family members with him to Sochi, mainly because of safety. "Its definitely on my mind, Im not going to lie," Luongo said. "I think were all a little bit concerned." Nicholson said Hockey Canada has a blueprint for what it will do in the event of a terrorist attack at the Games. "We have a detailed plan with how well deal with all of the players and all of the family members that go if something happens," he said. In terms of the actual team set to go to Sochi, Nicholson said he was encouraged to see star Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos back practising. The 23-year-old was named to the Canadian squad despite breaking his leg in November. "We really want to make sure he is fully recovered from this," said Nicholson, who added there is a list of five-to-eight players on standby in case of injury. "The Olympic Games are huge for Steve, its huge for Canada but we have to make sure its the right thing for Steve Stamkos long-term." Nicholson didnt say whether Stamkos needed to play an NHL game before the Olympics, simply stating: "Theres going to be a drop-dead date ... really that date is 24 hours before the first mens game in Sochi." The mens Olympic hockey tournament begins Feb. 12, with Canadas first game set for the following day against Norway. Cheap Orlando Pace Jersey . NORRIS COLE (Heat): Its funny, you watch a guy play and now really produce and it just jumps off the page at you - why?

The quarterback was injured in the fourth quarter of Sundays 30-15 loss to the Carolina Panthers when he landed on his knee after being shoved out of bounds by Panthers safety Mike Mitchell. The team offered no update on the extent of the injury and Bradford was not made available for comment. He was to accompany the team on the flight back to St. Louis late Sunday afternoon. Fisher said Bradford "was in significant pain on the sideline." Bradford did have X-rays on the knee before leaving Charlotte. "Its a left knee and its the knee with the brace on it," Fisher said. "Were going to get off the airplane and hell go have an MRI so well have some information on that later." As for the injury, Fisher said "Im not going to speculate. Im not going to deal with hypotheticals until I find out whats going on with him. It makes no sense to rush to any conclusion with him. Not until we know." Bradford was in pain on the Rams sideline for several minutes holding his left knee before two Rams assiistants helped him to his feet and carried him to the bench. Cheap Rams Jerseys.

"Its never easy when you see a teammate go down," Clemens said. "When you see a person that you spend as much time with as I do with Sam and genuinely care about as a person. ... I have great respect for what he does on the field, but just as genuine concern for him as a person. It was not easy to see. Hopefully its quick." The Rams players were hoping for the best, but fearing the worst after the game. "Sam is a really good guy and a smart player," linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar said. "Thats really tough. I hope its not as bad as it looks. Its tough to see him carted off like that." Said centre Scott Wells: "Even if Sam wasnt hurt, we still have some heavy lifting to do. But this adds extra to it." Panthers quarterback Cam Newton said, "My heart goes out to Sam Bradford."
