Team USA, who lost their opening game, roared back to take the Gold. The US lost their opener to Germany, but went on a roll following that game. The Americans defeated Canada East (twice), Russia, and Canada West on their way to the top.
I feel that Mike Lee was the difference in this tournament for the United States. Joe Howe played in the opener, but took the loss. Lee came in and went 4-0 while giving up just 7 goals.
Mike Cichy led team USA, as well as everyone else, with 10 points in 5 games.
As a team, the US led the tournament in both powerplay percentage and penalty kill percentage.
Congrats to all players, coaches, and everyone else involved. It's always great for the USHL to get some exposure and this is definitely some great exposure.
