Jensen Showing Off as Europe Dominates WJC
 

Viktor Jensen has been spending part of his off-season suiting up for Team Europe at the Season 89 WJC.  Jensen, who won Gold last year, has been showing off thus far on his road towards a repeat Gold Medal.

 

“I want to bring Gold home for Europe.  We have a great team once again and we have gelled together very quickly. Outside of one performance where we just didn’t have it against a solid team, we haven’t really faced much adversity whatsoever.  So I do expect that to come but I’m clearly here to fight past that and win some gold to put around my neck.”

 

Jensen has been dominating with 10 goals and 8 assists for 18 points, over the teams first ten games. And the team has been the best team in the tournament through those ten with an 9-1-0 record. Even in games where he didn’t necessarily find the scoresheet, he always seems to be making an impact.  In the teams ten games, Jensen has recorded 60 shots and an incredible 65% Faceoff Percentage (on 365 draws). This dominance and progress in his skill set can mainly be attributed to the work he has been putting in this off-season according to Jensen:

 

“I’ve really been trying to improve my overall strength and my technique when it comes to taking draws. My skating has been improving too with specifically my acceleration, agility and balance being the most impacted and giving me the best results so far.  It has been a huge change in my game and it’s definitely for the better.”
