The heavyweights start their competition today
The first question for this game was: who will start for the US? The answer is Maddie Rooney, who goes up against Noora Räty. Rooney’s the youngest of the three American goalies, she put off her junior year at the University of Minnesota-Duluth to compete.
Riikka Valila is the starting centre for Finland, the only player in the competition older than me.
Early power play to the US, who knew Jocelyn Lamoureux could draw penalties as well as take them? Finland gets the puck out fast, and the Americans spend the first minute without a shot.
