Bourque, Kreider and Stepan Named to US Team

Calendar December 23, 2009 | Posted by Leslie Treff

This morning, Ryan Bourque, Chris Kreider, and Derek Stepan were named to the USA U-20 team that will play in the World Junior Championships that begin this weekend in Saskatoon and Regina.

The final roster was announced by USA Hockey this morning, after the US team dropped a 3-2 exhibition game to the Czech Republic last night. The contest went to a shootout, after Bourque tied the game at 2-2 in the third period. That goal was the second of the night by a Rangers prospect–Kreider scored on a rebound on the PP early in the second period. It was Kreider’s third goal in two exhibition games.  Bourque was named the USA’s Player of the Game last night.

All of the USA’s games in the 2010 WJCs will be televised by the NHL Network this year. In total, the NHL Network will televise 16 games to the US audience over the course of the 11-day tournament. The schedule is listed below.

Happy holidays to all!!!
