WCHA shines in USA WJC win...


What an exciting game; or what I saw of it because the feed from the broadcast was substandard, I guess I would expect more from the NHL network. None the less, the opening game for the USA WJC turned out to be a great night for WCHA players; the Bulldogs’ freshman defenseman Justin Faulk got the first goal for team USA that was followed up by Denver University forward and Wild Draft choice Jason Zucker, he got the second USA goal and the game winner in overtime by Minnesota forward Nick Bjugstad…

Team USA got some bad news as Jeremy Morin might be done for the WJC because of an injury, if true that is bad news for the Americans.
Sources say Team USA winger Jeremy Morin, on loan from the Chicago Blackhawks' AHL farm team in Rockford, apparently suffered a shoulder injury that could be significant.[TSN.CA]
