2019 WJSS Notebook Day 1: Showcase Underway


In the first competition of the showcase, USA Blue faced off against USA White. The two teams played two periods of five-on-five before an ice cut. After the cut, each team worked on special teams. In a situation where the team does not have a lot of time playing together before competing against other teams, it is important to work on systems early and often.

After the first two even strength frames, neither team found the back of the net as the goaltending of Spencer Knight, Isaiah Saville, Drew DeRidder and Dustin Wolf played solid. There was a lot of back-and-forth flow.

Following that was an alternating power play for each side. After five minutes, the teams switched up who was on the power play and who was on the penalty kill. Blue nearly found the back of the net at the last second, but were unable to.

It went to a shootout, where white was able to get a Trevor Zegras clinching goal before the teams shook hands and headed off the ice in preparation for tomorrow’s games.
