USA World Junior Team Wins Bronze



I was stuck at work and couldn't watch the game. But the US followed up their great Gold Medal year with a respectable 3rd place finish.

The US only lost one game in the tournament which is as good as anyone can do.

I'm not disappointed at all and I hope that we can all be proud what the team accomplished this year on the international stage.

The United States will not be going home empty handed as they have capture the bronze by beating Sweden 4-2 at the World Junior Hockey Championship.

It is the first time ever that the Americans have won medals in consecutive tournaments after defeating Canada for the gold last year in Saskatoon and Regina.

Chris Kreider scored twice while Jack Campbell made 34 saves to clinch the victory for the States.


The teams one loss was to Canada, who just plain was a better team Monday night.
