Jordan Schroeder finished as Team USA's leading scorer to lead four University of Minnesota players at the recent U.S. Junior Evaluation camp in Lake Placid, N.Y.
Schroeder, a sophomore forward for the Gophers, totaled five goals and nine assists for 14 points while playing in six of the seven games. The 10-day camp included three intrasquad games and four games against Russia. Schroeder scored points in each of the games he played.
Incoming freshman defenseman Nick Leddy finished with three goals and two assists over five games, while freshman forward Zach Budish had two goals in seven games and sophomore defenseman Aaron Ness registered three assists. Budish was one of seven players to play in every game and finished fourth on the team with 14 penalty minutes.
The four Gophers were among 29 players trying out for the U.S. World Junior team, which will compete Dec. 26-Jan. 5 in the under-20 World Junior Championships in Saskatoon and Regina, Saskatchewan. The final roster will be determined in early December.
Schroeder has played for the U.S. Junior National Team the past two seasons and had a goal and an assist in each of the three games he played last week against Russia. He had two points in an 8-1 win on Tuesday and a 6-1 win on Wednesday. He also picked up two points in the final game, which was a 6-0 U.S. victory on Saturday. The only game Schroeder didn't play resulted in a 6-4 loss on Friday. Ness had an assist on a U.S. goal in the defeat.
