Roster Tidbit

In Wednesday night's 6-0 shutout win, Nick Robertson (TOR, '19, 2nd rd., 53rd overall) scored on an individual effort that drew awes from the crowd and found a place in that night's SportsCenter Top 10. The play started with Robertson forechecking on a Sweden defensemen at the Swedish blue line. As the defender curled to make a pass, Robertson poke-checked the puck and intercepted it, enabling him to skate in on goal uncontested before faking the goaltender to the right to create an opening on the left-side where he was able to slip the puck into an empty net.

USA Enjoys Off Day

Thursday was the first full off day for Team USA. The team did not have any practice or any competition. Instead, what they did was a team building activity. Not knowing what they were doing, they were told to show up to the rink where they then boarded the bus to head out and enjoy the sunshine. Heading a little bit away from Plymouth, the team floated down the river on kayaks and rafts.
