Jordan Eberle

In my opinion, Jordan Eberle was the star of this entire junior tournament. He is an amazing hockey player with unbelievable talents and the crazy ability to score goals like it’s nothing. Jordan Eberle was the hero of the game between Canada and the USA. Down by two (5-3), all the pressure is on Canada; sticks felt heavy and the puck seemed impossible to handle. They constantly gave it up and made terrible passes which USA picked up with pride. The pressure though didn’t seem to effect Jordan Eberle, in the dying minutes, he seemed to come back already with a few goals that game and put two more in the back of the net to make it tied with about 40 seconds left. Canada unfortunately lost in the over time of 20 minutes, but it was thanks to Jordan Eberle that they got the chance to go into over time against the USA. The championship game was also almost exact to New Years eve game, Canada vs. USA, Canada down by two; they come back and score two goals to lead it into overtime. Only this time, Canada lost. Jordan Eberle made Canada happen, thanks to him, they can say that they made it to overtime against another very good team.
