Team World faced off against the last place Team Asia in the quarterfinals to determine who would move on to the semis. Team World would end up winning this matchup that looked more like a shootout 6-3. Let’s take a look at some key points that led to this huge victory for Team World.

 

Teagan Glover- This kid was on fire for Team World and earned himself the first star with 2 goals, 1 assist. Team World took a lot of penalties in this game but Glover continued to play disciplined hockey and stayed out of the box. Also he played strong on the penalty kill and didn’t give the power play opportunities to set up. 

 

Justin Cole- This young VHL goaltender battled hard all game and provided very few second chances. Cole stopped 29 of the 32 shots Team Asia threw his way. 

 

Shots- So we all know the famous Gretzky line “you miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take”. This was Team Worlds game plan to throw everything at the net and make it a long night for Asian goaltender Tyler Smith. Team World put a total of 49 shots on Smith and capitalized on 6 of those opportunities. The coaches have to be happy with how their game plan resulted in a victory! 

 

Team World has punched their ticket to the Semifinals and will face off against the red hot Canadians!
