Jordan Eberle: The Man for Canada
Canada destroyed Norway at the IIHF Tournament 12-1 today in Germany. But the big story is young Jordan Eberle, who in his first game of the tourny since getting the nod following Ryan Smyth’s injury, stole the show with 1 goal and 4 assists. He was named Team Canada player of the game, and continues his brilliance in international play. The Oilers prospect played along side top prospect Taylor Hall in this past years World Junior Championship, and could very well be NHL team mates with him if the Oilers do in fact select him #1 on draft day.
Jordan is also looking to pick up some of the offensive slack for team Canada, as young star Steven Stamkos has also gone down with injury. Along with Eberle, the likes of John Taveres, and Matt Duchene are two other young NHL’ers trying to bring yet another Gold back to Canada in Ice Hockey.
MANNHEIM – Canada scored an easy 12-1 victory over Norway this afternoon at SAP Arena. Jordan Eberle, the 19-year-old, activated to the roster because of injuries, had a goal and three assists. Evander Kane had two goals and an assist, and the third member of the line, Rich Peverley, chipped in with a goal and two assists. It was Eberle’s international debut at the senior level. He had played at the 2010 and 2009 World U20 Championships.
