U.S. Under-18 Select Team Earns 3-1 Win over Czech Republic
at 2011 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament
Team USA Finishes with 1-2-0-1 Overall Record
BRECLAV, Czech Republic - The U.S. Under-18 Select Team scored a pair of power-play goals and added an empty net tally to earn a 3-1 win over the Czech Republic and finish fifth at the 2011 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament.
Team USA posted a 1-2-0-1 (W-OTW-OTL-L) overall record, losing only once in four outings.
"We played our best defensive game of the tournament this afternoon," said Seth Appert, head coach of the U.S. Under-18 Select Team. "We're disappointed to win four out of our five games this week, including the exhibition, and not have a shot at first place. But, as a staff, we couldn't be more proud of our players."
The U.S. took a 1-0 lead four minutes into the game when Nicholas Schilkey (Smiths Creek, Mich.) scored the lone first-period goal on the power play.
Following a scoreless second period, the Czech Republic knotted the score, 1-1, at 4:32 of the third period. But Alex Galchenyuk (Kalamazoo, Mich.) responded with a power-play goal just over two minutes later to restore Team USA's one-goal edge.
With less than two minutes remaining in the period, Daniel O'Regan (Needham, Mass.) added an empty-net goal to secure the win for Team USA. U.S. goalie Jon Gillies (South Portland, Maine) made 21 saves in the win, while the Czech Republic's Marek Langhamer stopped 14 shots in a losing effort.

U.S. Under-17 Select Team Tops Switzerland, 5-1,
at 2011 Under-17 Five Nations Tournament
Team USA Finishes Tournament with Undefeated 4-0-0-0 Record
ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Ryan Siroky (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) logged a goal and two assists, as the U.S. Under-17 Select Team topped Switzerland, 5-1, in its final game of the 2011 Under-17 Five Nations Tournament.
Team USA finished the tournament in first place after posting an undefeated 4-0-0-0 (W-OTW-OTL-L) record against the Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia and Switzerland.
"The players deserve all the credit in going undefeated," said Bob Corkum, head coach of the U.S. Under-17 Select Team. "They bought into the system and concept of togetherness that our coaching staff preached en route to the title."
The U.S. jumped out to a 3-0 first-period lead with goals from Michael Turner (Oak Park, Ill.), Daniel Vanderwiel (Island Lake, Ill.) and Vinni Lettieri (Excelsior, Minn.). Switzerland trimmed the U.S. lead to two with a power-play tally near the end of the opening frame, but would get no closer.
Eight minutes into the second period, Siroky restored Team USA's three-goal advantage with his third goal of the tournament. Then, with less than two minutes remaining in the stanza, Gabe Guertler (Plantation, Fla.) pushed the U.S. lead to 5-1 with the final goal of the event.
U.S. goaltender Devin Williams (Saginaw, Mich.) blanked Switzerland in the second and third periods, as he turned aside 33 shots overall including making 19 saves in the third period alone.
NOTES: The U.S. went 1-for-3 on the power play, while Switzerland was 1-for-4 with the man advantage ... Ryan Siroky (3-3) and Andrew Oglevie (Fullerton, Calif./0-6) tied for the U.S. team lead and were tied for second among all tournament participants with six points in four games ...

U.S. Under-17 Select Team Earns 6-4 Win over Slovakia
at 2011 Under-17 Five Nations Tournament
Team USA Clinches First Place at Event with One Game Remaining
ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Daniel Vanderwiel (Island Lake, Ill.) scored three times, as the U.S. Under-17 Select Team earned a 6-4 victory over Slovakia in its third game of the 2011 Under-17 Five Nations Tournament.
With the win, Team USA improved to a perfect 3-0-0-0 (W-OTW-OTL-L), thereby clinching first place for the tournament with one game still remaining.
"It feels great to clinch the tournament title," said Bob Corkum, head coach of the U.S. Under-17 Select Team. "But we still have unfinished business tomorrow against Switzerland, as one of our goals here was to go undefeated."
Both teams traded goals in the first period. Vanderwiel netted his first of the game seven minutes into the contest, but Slovakia answered with a goal two minutes later.
After Slovakia took a brief 2-1 lead one minute into the middle frame, Team USA rattled off three straight goals off the sticks of Vanderwiel, Vinni Lettieri (Excelsior, Minn.) and Shane Eiserman (West Newbury, Mass.) to claim a two-goal advantage midway through the second.
Despite a pair of goals by Slovakia's Andrej Listiak that temporarily tied the game, 4-4, the U.S. regained its two-goal lead in the third period thanks to a goal by Michael Brodzinski (Ham Lake, Minn.) and Vanderwiel's third tally of the night.
U.S. goalie Devin Williams (Saginaw, Mich.), who replaced starter Thatcher Demko (San Diego, Calif.) at the start of the third, denied Slovakia's comeback bid by stopping all 11 shots he faced in the game's final 20 minutes. Demko, meanwhile, finished the night with 13 saves.
The U.S. will next face Switzerland tomorrow (Aug. 13) in its final game of the tournament. Puck drop is slated for 7 p.m. EDT.
NOTES: The U.S. went 2-for-5 on the power play, while Slovakia was 1-for-9 with the man advantage ... Gabe Guertler (Plantation, Fla./2-2), Andrew Oglevie (Fullerton, Calif./0-4) and Daniel Vanderwiel (3-1) are all tied for the U.S. team lead with four points in three games ...

Don Granato Named National Team Development Program Head Coach
ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Don Granato, with 15 seasons of coaching experience at multiple levels, has been named head coach at USA Hockey’s National Team Development Program in Ann Arbor, Mich., it was announced today. Granato, as one of two head coaches at the NTDP, will guide the U.S. National Under-17 Team during the 2011-12 season.
“Don will be a terrific mentor to the best young players in our country," said Jim Johannson, assistant executive director of hockey operations for USA Hockey. "He's excited about the opportunity and we're very pleased to have him at the NTDP."
Granato's coaching career began in 1993 when he was named interim coach of the United States Hockey League's Madison Capitals. He went on to become the first-ever head coach and general manager of the USHL's Green Bay Gamblers for three seasons (1994-97), where he led the Gamblers to Anderson Cup titles as the USHL regular-season champion on two occasions (1996, 1997) and, in 1996, helped the franchise capture its first Clark Cup as the league's playoff champion.
Granato's next challenge came in the East Coast Hockey League, where he led the Columbus Chill for two years (1997-99). He then moved on to serve as head coach of Peoria of the ECHL for one season and guided the Rivermen to the Kelly Cup as the ECHL's playoff champion. He was inducted into the Peoria Hall of Fame in 2009.
Granato spent 2000-05 as head coach of the Worcester IceCats, the American Hockey League affiliate of the St. Louis Blues. During that span, he became the winningest coach in franchise history with a 191-130-45-14 record, while leading the IceCats to the Calder Cup playoffs in four consecutive seasons (2000-04). Granato received the Louis A.R. Pieri Memorial Award in 2001 as the AHL coach of the year.
"The fact that he's been a successful developmental coach both at the junior and professional level fits perfectly with our program," said Scott Monaghan, senior director of operations for the NTDP. "I know the players, parents and community will really enjoy Don."
Granato spent last season as a scout for the National Hockey League's Vancouver Canucks. Prior to the 2010-11 campaign, he served as head coach of the Chicago Wolves, the AHL affiliate of the Atlanta Thrashers (2008-10), and was also an assistant coach for the NHL's St. Louis Blues (2005-06).
"I'm thrilled to be a part of USA Hockey's National Team Development Program," said Granato. "The NTDP is highly regarded in hockey circles not only in our country, but throughout the world. I look forward to the challenge of helping some of our most talented young players reach their full potential. In addition, my wife and I are excited to be part of the Ann Arbor community."
As a player, the Downers Grove, Ill., native skated for the University of Wisconsin from 1987-91. While a Badger, he helped Wisconsin to the 1990 NCAA title. Granato went on to compete professionally for two seasons with the ECHL's Columbus Chill (1991-93).
Granato replaces Ron Rolston, who spent seven seasons at the NTDP.
NOTES: Granato will begin his duties immediately ... He played high school hockey in Minnesota for Burnsville, where he helped his team win the Minnesota State High School League championship in 1985 ... Don Granato is the brother of Tony and Cammi Granato.

Sioux nickname and logo nears end as NCAA rejects pitch by North Dakota officials
INDIANAPOLIS – The end apparently has come for the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux nickname and logo.
After a two-hour meeting with NCAA officials here today, Gov. Jack Dalrymple said the association will not budge, and he will ask the North Dakota Legislature in November to delegate authority over the nickname issue back to the state Board of Higher Education.
“It’s clear that the NCAA will not modify the terms of the settlement agreement and will stand by its provisions,” Dalrymple said immediately following the meeting at NCAA headquarters here.

LOUDON, N.H. -- Maybe Ryan Hunter-Reay was expecting a silver cup or a glass bowl?
During the Victory Lane ceremonies for the MoveThatBlock.com Indy 225 on Aug. 14, New Hampshire Motor Speedway general manager Jerry Gappens presented the race winner with “Loudon” – a giant New England lobster. It required both hands of the surprised Andretti Autosport driver to display the crustacean.
“It caught me off-guard,” said Hunter-Reay, an avid sport fisherman who resides in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. “The thing is looking at me as I’m holding it. He was huge. I didn’t know they got that big. Hopefully, they put it back in the water or something.”
“Loudon” was a bonus; Hunter-Reay received a more traditional trophy for winning the first Indy car race at the mile oval in 13 years. It was his first of the season and first on an oval in the IZOD IndyCar Series, and it mitigates some of the sting from a lost first half of the season in which he posted one top-10 finish in eight races, and being placed on probation by the sanctioning body for avoidable contact at Barber Motorsports Park in April and at Toronto in July.
