U.S. men knocked out of playoff hunt

March 6, 2013

Team USA put on an impressive show tonight but it won't get them to the playoffs at the 2013 World Junior Championships, unfortunately.

Korey Dropkin and the American men had a convincing 8-1 win over China tonight but 30 minutes later were handed their fate - no chance for a tiebreaker game to get into the playoffs.

With the win, Dropkin (Southborough, Mass.) and teammates Tom Howell (Brick, N.J.), Mark Fenner (Bemidji, Minn.), Alex Fenson (Bemidji, Minn.) and Connor Hoge (Southborough, Mass.) improve to 4-4 with one game remaining in the round robin.
