Not sure, I believe it is the same channel the World Juniors have been playing on. We have Comcast and it is channel 276.

Then that's the main channel for me as well!
Thank god Comcast offers at least that channel for free!
Could some one post a roster for this team? I can't seem to locate it, although I'm being pretty lazy about it. The USA hockey website is so poorly set up.

No other Minnesota guys on the roster? Also which team did they beat for the championship?
I've watched all of the U20 U.S. games and it's been fantastic hockey. The final vs. Canada is tomorrow night on the NHL Network. Should be a barn burner.

I thought I saw Carlson on the ice early in the night.
As for McNeely the announcer said that the USA coach said he has never had two really good goalies with McNeely and Gibson. He rotated throughout the tournament with both.

I watched most of the first and third periods and I thought Team Ontario dominated play but couldn't score. Most of the game was in the US end. Even so, Canada had few quality chances and the US goalie played very well as did the "D" and forwards blocking shots. USA capitalized on their chances. Nice win, but a fortunate one me thinks.

Interesting that Team Ontario's best two players were their smallest two players. A little unusual for a Canadian team. A small forward, #12 Daniel Catenacci, with speed, moves and hands and a very small D, #4 Ryan Murphy, with the same. Team Ontario had better intensity early as Team USA played relaxed. Once USA picked up the urgency they played much better.
Boyd was the only Minnesotan I saw in the game and he played well.

It appears to be so...

The probability he committs to another college is around 1%. I'm guessing we'll here about him signing with the Porland Winterhawks in the next couple of weeks.
