Happy Fourth of July!
To celebrate the Fourth of July, Team USA won the Inline Hockey World Championship defeating the Czech Republic 4-3. I don’t see a Directorate or team awards listed on the IIHF website, but Northeastern’s Kyle Kraemer was third in scoring overall (tops for US, Swedes took the top 2 spots), no. 2 in goals and in plus-minus. Team USA stats can be found here. A blog gallery I put together when he made the team can be found here.
Since I have to have galleries in my blog posts and haven’t edited any new ones of Kraemer, I had to go with a 2010 WJC gold-medal winner who was born on the Fourth of July, Jake Gardiner (previous blog gallery here).
