USA Hockey today released the list of its 34 invitees to a 2010 Olympic Orientation camp next month in Woodbridge, Ill. -- no surprise, center Scott Gomez of Anchorage received an invitation.

Gomez, 29, plays for the New York Rangers, and the 2006 U.S. Olympian is among 19 forwards invited to the prelude to team selection for the Games in Vancouver.

Gomez earned 1-4--5 totals in six games at the 2006 Olympics. He also has represented the U.S. in the World Cup and World Junior Championship.

Gomez last season racked 16-42--58 totals in 77 NHL games.
