Great win for France
Always underated...
Texier is not there, as mentionned earlier (not released by is Finnish team) and top-defenseman Enzo Guebey is out with a knee injury.
But still, the team is basically the one who won the U18 Division 1A two years ago. It's the 1st generation drived and coached by the new French Federation back in 2006-2008, with the new federal system. It's probably our best generation ever, and would be even better with our 2 top guns here. Still, a pretty balanced team and some very good prospects.
Teemu Loizeau scored twice and I really like this kid. Richard could be our best goalie prospect since Garnier.
It's a huge win, because it can set the bar higher. The team should be safe at this level now.
