There was a little bit of controversy at the World Championships on Friday. Yegor Sharangovich was named the captain of Team Belarus and they were playing one of their big rivals in Slovakia. Sharangovich came to play, scoring two goals but it wasn’t enough to win the game. In fact, both goals came when the score was 4-0 and 4-1 in the third period.
He was named captain despite having 12 players on the roster over the age of 30. It was definitely an honor for the 22 year old who is coming off a breakout season with the New Jersey Devils.
