Team World Surprises. . .the World

While most had discounted Team World as an "also ran" team in the World Juniors this season, their performance shocked many as their efforts led to many hard-fought and hard-won games throughout the tournament. In the end, this resulted in a silver medal finish for Team World as they fell to Team Europe by a score of 5-1, their only tally coming from Daring Do (her 4th goal of the elimination round). It was an impressive finish for the team that many had predicted would go nowhere in the tournament due to a lack of depth at just about every position. Even the finals were close as Team Europe only lead the shot total by a ratio of 28 to 27 - a legitimately hard fought contest by both sides if there ever was one. In the end both teams went home happy - Team World that they managed a medal despite an extremely slow start out of the gate, and team Europe that they were bringing home the promised gold.
