| | | FIRST-PERIOD OUTBURST HELPS CANADA CLAIM UNDER-18 GOLD PIESTANY, Slovakia – For the fourth time in five years, Canada’s National Men’s Summer Under-18 Team has won gold at the Memorial of Ivan Hlinka tournament.
Ryan Ellis (Hamilton, ON/Windsor, OHL), Simon Després (Laval, QC/Saint John, QMJHL) and Taylor Hall (Kingston, ON/Windsor, OHL) scored first-period goals as Canada took a 3-1 lead after 20 minutes on its way to a 6-3 victory over Russia in Saturday’s gold medal game.
Carter Ashton (Saskatoon, SK/Lethbridge, WHL), Brayden Schenn (Saskatoon, SK/Brandon, WHL) and Ryan O’Reilly (Seaforth, ON/Erie, OHL) also scored for Canada, which outscored its opposition 24-10 in four games.
For the third time in the tournament Canada found itself in a hole early, as Kirill Kabanov gave the Russians a 1-0 lead, tipping a point shot from Georgy Berdyukov past Nathan Lieuwen (Abbotsford, BC/Westside, BCHL) on a powerplay just past the game’s four-minute mark.
But Ellis would pull the Canadians even just four minutes later, banking a shot off Russian goaltender Dmitry Shikin, and Després gave Canada its first lead two minutes after Ellis’ goal, converting on a rebound after Shikin had turned away Hall on a breakway.
Hall got on the board in the final minute of the first period, taking a pass from Louis Leblanc (Kirkland, QC/Lac St-Louis, LHMAAAQ) down low and beating the Russian goaltender through the five-hole for a 3-1 Canadian lead heading to the intermission.
The lead was pushed to three just 89 seconds into the middle frame, as Ashton took a pass from Zack Kassian (LaSalle, ON/Peterborough, OHL) and snapped a slow shot past Shikin for a 4-1 advantage.
The Canadians were unlucky not to increase their lead in the second period as they outshot the Russians 14-4 in the period, but Ashton was the only one to beat Shikin.
The teams traded a pair of goals each in the third period – Schenn and O’Reilly scored for Canada while Alexander Burmistrov and Vladimir Tarasenko replied for the Russians.
Hall, Ashton, Schenn and O’Reilly all added assists to their goals, giving them two-point games, while Lieuwen made 10 saves for his fourth win of the tournament.
The Canadians outshot Russia 26-13, the fourth lopsided result on the shot clock in as many games – overall, Canada outshot its opposition 177-69 during the tournament. |

Cranbrook, BC – Jeff Chynoweth, General Manager of the Kootenay ICE Hockey Club announced today the Club has selected 18-year-old Forward Dominik Pacovsky (1st round, 45th overall) and 19-year-old Forward Ales Frieb (1st round, 54th overall) in today’s 17th annual CHL Import Draft. The second selection was acquired from the Lethbridge Hurricanes for a 7th round pick in the 2009 WHL Bantam Draft.
“It is very difficult to draft any Import player as for the most part teams have not had the opportunity to watch these players over the course of the season. Both players come highly recommended by Allan Walsh, a player agent who we have used several times in the past for the CHL Import Draft. We hope both Dominik and Ales can be regular contributors to our Club during the 2008-2009 season,” continued Chynoweth.
Both Dominik Pacovsky and Ales Frieb will arrive in Cranbrook in late August.
