Krueger and Gotovets Play in World Championships

I'm a few days late with this, but Cornell senior defenseman Justin Krueger was named to the German team for the IIHF World Championships. Krueger got a lot ice time (19:14) during Germany's OT win over the U.S. on Friday. Here's one shot of him:


With an announced attendance of 77,803 (roughly 18 times the capacity of Lynah Rink), it's safe to say that was the largest crowd Krueger's ever played for.

Still waiting to see if Krueger will sign with the Carolina Hurricanes, who drafted him. Or, he can wait until August 15 and become a free agent.

Also, incoming Cornell recruit Kirill Gotovets was named to Team Belarus for the tournament. Belarus plays its first game tomorrow, against Kazakhstan.
