All eyes were on Michael Hage’s performance at the World Juniors Summer Showcase, but Aatos Koivu stole the show!

A good Patrik Laine goal! Finland will be back in action on Saturday against Sweden. The U.S. will also be in action on Saturday, with a game against Canada. spacer title=’Overtime’] – Hard to say.

– DuPont will be an interesting player to watch.

– Cool!
