I had my game today-
SWE Vs. FIN 7:00pm Debbie Hengst, Haley Wieler, Laura Johnson
I unfortunately dont have a picture of the crew because Debbie got hurt in the third period of the game. She is ok, but was unable to finish. She ran into a player, the players stick came up and Debbie shielded her face with her hand. The stick slashed her hand and she immediately blew her whistle. She wanted to finish the game, but she was in so much pain. The standby referee (Sylena Mutsaers) got onto the ice 8 minutes later and we resumed the game. Debbie is ok, has blue fingers but does not know if they are broken. Debbie had a great game up until she got injured. Haley and I worked very well together, it was a hard game but so much fun to work. Sylena jumped into the game and the transition of referees was seamless. The game as really exciting, Finland and Sweden do not like each other. Sweden dominated the first half of the first period, but Finland came back and fought to win the game in OT 3-2.

After the game we got the game assignments for 1/7 Semi Final games:
There is one relegation game (best of 3)- SUI vs. JPN:
SUI vs. JPN 5:30pm Malin Axelsson (SWE), Magdalena Cerhitova (SVK), Zsuzanna Sandor (HUN)
SUI beat JPN yesterday, so if SUI wins on friday there is no game needed on saturday. A relegation game determines which team (the two teams with the least amount of points during the championship) will move down a division for next year. Same with Division 1 being played later this year, the winner will move up a division to play in this Championship next year.
The GER vs SWE game is for 5th place taking place on 1/7:
10am Sylena Mustaers (CAN), Jonna Partanen (FIN), Haley Wieler (CAN)
The two semi final games are:
CAN vs FIN 3:30pm Radka Ruzickova (CZE), Laura Johnson (USA), Ilona Novotna (CZE)
USA vs CZE 7:00pm Arina Ustinova (RUS), Elena Ivanova (RUS), Kaire Leet (EST)
After we found out our game assignments we stayed up until 1am to watch the Gold medal game for Canada vs Russia U20 mens.
Canada was dominating the game up until the 3rd period with a score of 3-0. Then a lot of people started going to bed, i stayed up with Radka and watched the crazy finish to a game that was thought to be over. Russia came back with 5 awesome un-answered goals in the third period to win the U-20 Mens World Championship in Buffalo, NY.
A little after the game was over, Elena and Arina came back from one of the other girl's rooms (they are from Russia) and i asked them if they saw the game. I was smiling, they were not. They said yeah, 3-0 Canada. They turned it off at the start of the 3rd period. I told them no........ Russia won. 5-3. They said no.. no... no..? you are joking me right? I said no seriously they won! Then i showed them the IIHF website with the final score and pictures, they were so excited and started jumping up and down. I just laughed because it isnt over until its over! watch the whole game!
Now i'm going to sleep, its 4am.... i am so tired! Tomorrow we have a day off, we are going to a Super League game (Sweden's NHL). I'm excited, yay more hockey!
God natt!
