Haven’t managed to finish editing a game as planned, so substituting a “sibling” post. Justin and Matt Greene both played for the Boston College Eagles and Matt wore the A during his senior season when the Eagles won the 2008 National Championship. Justin Greene is still out on the ice – just as an official rather than as a player. Boston Globe article from March 2009 on Justin Greene.

Special bonus gallery – current Los Angeles King and former University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux Matt Greene (HockeyDB.com lists 3 “Matt Greene”s, but the third profile is blank and I assume an error).

North Dakota did play Boston College in two games in 2004-05, UND Matt Greene’s junior and final collegiate season and BC’s Justin and Matt Greene’s first season, but I don’t seem to have the latter game which I shot online.

Over 3500 images have been uploaded from the 7 days I spent at the U20 camp - 2009 USA Hockey National Junior Evaluation Camp images.

The top two scorers for the USA were Jordan Schroeder with 5g, 9a in 6 games:
 

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.

Jordan Parise will be taking part in the Pittsburgh Penguins’ training camp on an ATO.

Parise spent last season in Austria playing for Salzburg after two seasons with the Lowell Devils (AHL) after his college career ended at the University of North Dakota.

Jordan is the son of former NHL-er J-P Parise and the older brother of New Jersey Devil Zach Parise:
