Sean Bonar, Joey LaLeggia and Beau Bennett were in action today for the opening day of round robin play of the World Jr. ‘A’ Challenge in Summerside, PEI.
Sean Bonar tends the Canada West net
Bennett’s Team USA was defeated 5-4 in a shootout by Team Canada East after blowing a three goal lead after 40 minutes, while Bonar and LaLeggia and the rest of Team Canada West were dumped 2-1 by Russia in a game that saw just 3 goals on 53 shots.
Of note to Vees fans (and scouts too, I’m sure) was the fact that Bonar and Bennett were named the player of the game from each of their respective teams. Beau scored a goal and had an assist, while also scoring in the shootout to earn the nod as the top American. Bonar stopped 18 of 20 shots against a crafty Russian squad and was named the Canada West player of the game, while defender Joey LaLeggia was held off the score sheet.
Tune in ‘Boston Pizza Vees This Week’ Monday night at 6PM to hear my conversation with Sean following that 2-1 loss to Russia.
