U.S. Under 18 Team @ UND

[fightingsioux4life]

UND comes off the holiday break (hopefully healthy and rested) to face the U.S. Under 18 team at REA on December 30th.

Keys to the game: Get the backup goaltenders some game action, play everyone who doesn't get regular playing time and no injuries in a game that doesn't count.

Lineup for tonight:

Dang, quite the list of injured players...hopefully they can all go against Alaska next weekend.

UND will give Ludvig Persson, dealing with what's believed to be a short-term injury, the night off. Hobie Hedquist starts. Carson Albrecht, Bennett Zmolek, Jake Livanavage also day-to-day with injuries. Michael Emerson, Nate Benoit, Tanner Komzak will get extended looks.

That (and illness) would explain the losing streak before Christmas. I really hope this team isn't derailed by injuries.

Are they practice related injuries.  Is there any place to get a lineup sheet for USNDT?

[brianvf]

Gotta be exciting for Hobie to get the start (even though the stats won't count)

[brianvf]

Game on!

[bcblues]

Let's play Holiday Hockey!

[brianvf]

Perron clanks iron on the PP, and then Blake scores

1-0

[bcblues]

Yeah man!

1-0

[brianvf]

SOG 6-1 UND, 7min in

[brianvf]

Good push from US, and then two good UND chances.

[nodakgirl93]

Both tv timeouts happening in the final 4 minutes of the period. Crazy. Game is flying by. 

[Esoteric]

USA starting to figure out what other teams learned about playing UND.  Be patient and wait for the easy to intercept passes of UND. 

[brianvf]

1-0 end of 1st

12-4 SOG UND

Strinden got the puck into the net at the end, but it was after the period ended

[burd]

Not perfect but very good.   Hedquist looked good. 

[nodakgirl93]

Gaber and turnovers still a thing.

[bcblues]

That USA goalie has been solid.

[Esoteric]

Wow just watched that square flat pass along the blue line bordering the Sioux defensive zone.  That pass looked like a potential breakaway for USA.

[Esoteric]

Nice goal though.

[bcblues]

2-0 on a greaser

[shep]

The US team best BU 8-2?

Lots of talent out there

[bcblues]

2-1 on a snipe shot

[burd]

USA has a player named STIGA.  Guy's never out of position.
