Subject: USA U-18 Team

So I'm not the only one that can't access the players' statistics any more while logged in.

The database for both sports should be the priority.

The U18 U.S. National Hockey Team (I need to settle on a name to use in these posts...) played a dominant game against Estonia today, outscoring them 4-0 and outshooting them 34-15. The U.S. was called for four penalties, but killed all of them off, to remain perfect on the penalty kill. The U.S. managed to dominate play, maintaining puck possession for nearly 2/3 of the game. Even the tactics battle favored the U.S.

For the first time in a while, nobody was injured or in camp, so the team on the ice should represent the team to compete in the World Championships.

Ireland finally managed to find a goalie and is now comparable to Bosnia.

Next week will be a difficult matchup against a strong top division Russian squad.

I now have all the 17 year-old players in the United States on or formerly from a current tier one or two team who has even a remote chance of making the u18 team scouted or queued to be scouted in about the next three weeks. I will start on tier III when I have more queue space, but I don't expect to find more than a few players (most likely those who were sold at a young age) in the lower tiers. With that said, I did find at least one quality starter this year from the transfer history of a tier III team.

All of my guys will be in training camp this week if you want to take them out of the line up.

Thanks for letting me know. I've already substituted for them for next week.

going to be in camp this weekend

The United States somehow managed a win against Russia despite being outshot 2:1 and despite a significant portion of the team being out for camp this week. Unfortunately, the United States gave up power play goals for the first time, but Earl Barrett stood on his head to steal the win and the offense somehow managed to score at nearly a 25% rate.

Only four weeks remain until the start of the World Championships. Next week's game will be played against the Netherlands.

The United States won today against a comparable U18 Netherlands national team. The United States took too many penalties (5), but once again managed to kill every single one of them. On the other hand, the United States scored on all three power plays. This is a very encouraging result against a team that is better than the majority of division II except for maybe Switzerland. The United States somehow managed to outshoot the Netherlands 2:1.

First line LW Witherspoon was out for camp. Backup Ulberto Brewer started since starter Earl Barrett has already maxed out his chemistry. Other than perhaps the five players with perfect chemistry - Thidodeau, Mathews, Burke, Schroeder, and Barrett - I will not be taking out any more starters for camp until the United States can clinch a promotion.

Next week the United States will face another comparable Romanian opponent. There are three weeks left until the start of the World Championship. The United States should be the host for the tournament, unless there is a last minute bid in the next half of an hour.

we won the bid

Drew Gallant's on the market. good LD prospect if you need one.
Drew Gallant

Thank you for bringing this to everyone's attention.

In fact, the player's team, which was one of the top teams in the game and fourth place in I.1 in Slovakia, quit the game. He has 30(!) national team caliber players on his roster for sale. While I'm most interested in Drew Gallant finding a new team with good facilities, as well as goaltender Samuel Glazier , this is a great opportunity for any team with money.

Scouted qualities:

1) Drew Gallant
D(96)-S(99)-P(93)-T(85)-A(79)
260-130-131-130-131
He's already among the top U.S. defenseman on the U18 team at 17 years old.

2) Samuel Glazier
G(99)-P(64)-T87)
405-202-202
He is basically interchangeable with the starter and backup for the U18 except that he didn't start the season with as much chemistry or experience.

Apparently I'm not done. The second best defenseman on the U18 team and the captain of the team is also for sale from a different team:Shawn Burke .

Scouted Qualities:
Shawn Burke
D(96)-S(91)-P(83)-T(62)-A(75)
377-94-189-189-170
OR=1073
