2010 IIHF World Women's U18 Championship

Re: 2010 IIHF World Women's U18 Championship

Canada U18's lost to an OWHA select team 3-2 tonight. Were also shut out in a shootout competition 1-0.

This result illustrates the phenomenal depth of the talent pool in the PWHL, and the strength of goaltending as well, given the winning team was outshot more than 2 to 1.

The Canada U18's have been practicing together as a team since Saturday; the team they played was thrown together at the last minute for tonight's game and most of these players' seasons have been finished for 1-3 weeks.

Perhaps even more noteworthy was the fact that more than a dozen Team Ontario players who won national gold and silver medals did not even participate in this contest due to injuries, Provincial HS championship conflicts, etc....including a few who had been part of the Team Canada "final 40" selection camps in the summer.

Here is the game report:

Our U18's got their arses handed to them twice pre tournament. How do you assess their chances in Chicago?

I saw one of those games. They will have to work on putting the puck in the net. The road to the final should be straight forward (The team is loaded with talent and speed). I'd say their chances are 50/50 vs the US. While they had a game breaker in Poulin in years prior, I think they have more depth and a more experienced club this year. I'll fill you in tomorrow off line.

That means all three TC U18 Captains since its inception three years ago will be playing for Cornell next year.

I'm by no means in the minority in being amazed they failed to take the top two PWHL points leaders from Ontario. One of these didn't even play in the game last night; the other had a goal and assist against TC. And since it seems evident this team may have issues with scoring......

Tournament Live Stats/Line Charts/Recaps/Stats from the IIHF are available here

USA Scoring Summary from Tonight:
1st Period
11:57 - AMMERMAN B (1) from HICKEL Z
16:00 - CARPENTER A

2nd Period
23:41 - FRY L (1) from MANGENE M
28:51 - AMMERMAN B (2) from BIZZARI M
31:08 - BONA R (1) from PFALZER E
39:45 - HICKEL Z (1) from SLAVIN J and CARPENTER A

3rd Period

52:49 - COYNE K (2) from MANGENE M and PELKEY A
56:09 - COYNE K (3) from PELKEY A
56:51 - AMMERMAN B (3) from BIZZARI M and 12 PICARD M

Both Coyne and Ammerman picked up Hat Tricks for the USA

Edit: Coyne received the US Player of the Game Award. I personally thought Ammerman was a force in all three periods while Coyne was pretty much a non factor until her Natural Hat Trick in the 3rd. Japan did a good job of limiting her in the first and looked really tired as the game wore on. Not competitive and rather boring to watch overall.

Re: 2010 IIHF World Women's U18 Championship

Attendance for Today's Games:
Finland v. Czech Republic - 152
Canada v. Russia - 170
Germany v. Sweden - 100
Japan v. USA - 312

The IIHF and USA Hockey should be ashamed of their efforts. One newspaper article was all I saw. None of the restaurants I went to or places I stopped in the area were aware of the event. I Watched bits of the Finland-Czech and Germany-Sweden games and all of the Canada-Russia and Japan-USA games. One of the Mission teams was in the lobby dropping or loading gear between games (I would go with U12 by the looks of the kids) and the parents were unaware of the event being held until they arrived here saw the banners and had trouble getting into their area. You would think that given one of their own (Coyne) is playing for the USA and the Event is at their HOME RINK they would be aware and have their girls in attendance watching as much as possible. Only saw a few stay around and watch. Totally disappointing and not what I expected.

I would rank the teams after today

1. USA
2. Canada
3. Finland
4. Sweden
5. Germany
6. Russia
7. Czech Republic
8. Japan

Will be back on Friday and Saturday to see more games. Hopefully there are more people here.

Re: 2010 IIHF World Women's U18 Championship

Illinois hockey (AHAI) has a history of not supporting girls hockey very well. And before anyone asks, yes I was a member of AHAI girl's committee in a past life. There are some great people involved but the politics burn out people almost as fast as new ones join.
