Canada’s National Junior Team hopefuls squared off against a team of U SPORTS Selects, one that includes eight OHL graduates in the first of two scrimmages on Tuesday afternoon at the Sixteen Mile Sports Complex in Oakville.
The World Junior squad skated to a 4-2 win thanks to a goal and an assist from London Knights forward Denver Barkey. North Bay Battalion defender Ty Nelson picked-up an assist as the closely-matched affair saw the Juniors outshoot U SPORTS 27-26.
North Bay Battalion goaltender and reigning OHL Goaltender of the Year Domenic DiVincentiis saw time in the U SPORTS crease, stopping 12 of the 13 shots that came his way. Former Owen Sound Attack and North Bay Battalion forward Matthew Struthers of the StFX X-Men recorded an assist.
The two teams will meet again on Wednesday at 12:00pm in Oakville. You can watch the game at video.hockeycanada.ca.
