and Danny Kristo with 7g, 5a in 6 games.:

For the Russians, the leading scorer was Vladimir Tarasenko (previous gallery) with 2g, 2a in 4 games followed by Sergey Ostapchuk with 2g, 1a in 4 games:

 In the mood for more pictures?  Some links:

• Adirondack Daily Enterprise - 8/17  (note the player identified as Czarnik is really Jordan Schroeder and the player identified as AJ Jenks is Kyle Palmieri – USA Hockey VERY ANNOYINGLY changed some numbers every freaking day, their photographer likely used the wrong day’s roster)
• Adirondack Daily Enterprise – 8/13
• Alex Clark – USA Hockey – 8/11 practice (Note links to earlier days were listed here)
• Alex Clark – USA Hockey – 8/11 game
• Alex Clark – USA Hockey – 8/12 game
• Alex Clark – USA Hockey – 8/14 practice
• Alex Clark – USA Hockey – 8/14 game
• Alex Clark – USA Hockey – 8/15
• Bruce Bennett – Getty Images - can’t provide direct link, but if you search on Bruce Bennett and choose Editorial and date range 8/14/2009-8/15/2009, he has 211 images from the camp
• Nancie Battaglia took the camp head shots & covered the 8/14 game, but I’m not sure where they are online and there were atleast a couple of others shooting during camp – if you have images online and would like me to link to them here – just email me.
