Europe Wins Bronze!

[Ricer13 2,796]

Team Europe’s S70 World Junior Championship was one with many ups and downs. The team played well through the round robin finishing with a 4-2-2 record sitting only behind Canada. 
 

After Team World bested Team Asia in the quarterfinals the semis were set. A clash between two of the favourites being Europe vs. USA. The game was a defensive show by both teams. The US scored to take a one goal lead and that was the only goal scored until they sealed the win against Europe with an empty netter. This was a crushing defeat for Europe but they quickly turned their attention to Bronze medal game where they ended up facing off against Team World. Europe took care of business in the Bronze medal game by defeating Team World 4-2. Roque Davis put on an absolute clinic and contributed 4 assists in the process!

 

GM Ricer13 is extremely proud of how well his team performed. Walking away with a Bronze medal in his first ever WJC is something he will never forget and looks forward to take another run at a championship sometime in the future.

 

Thank you to those who host this wonderful tournament. I look forward to seeing these teams showdown again in S71!
