Sweden takes gold in the U18 Tournament, stunning team USA who settles for Silver. Finland takes bronze over Czechia. Canada loses out in the quarterfinals 6-5 to the Finns, on the strength of Joakim Kemell's hat-trick-including the game-winning OT goal. Jonathan Lekkerimaki led the tournament with 15 points in 6 games, boosting his stock for this years draft. Here's the top 10:

1)Jonathan Lekkerimaki, F (SWE)6gp/5g/10a/15pts,+4, 4 PIM.

2)Matthias Havelid, D (SWE) 6gp/4g/8a/12pts,+4, 0 PIM.

3)Jiri Kulich, F (CZE) 6gp/9g/2a/11pts,-6, 2 PIM.

4)Isaac Howard, F (USA) 6gp/6g/5a/11pts,+8, 2 PIM.

5)Noah Ostlund, F (SWE) 6gp/4g/6a/10pts,+3, 6 PIM.

6)Logan Cooley, F (USA) 6gp/3g/7a/10pts,+5, 4 PIM.

7)Rutger McGroarty, F (USA) 6gp/8g/1a/9pts,+8, 27 PIM.

8)Cutter Gauthier, F (USA) 6gp/3g/6a/9pts,+3, 6 PIM.

9)Frank Nazar, F (USA) 6gp/3g/6a/9pts,+7, 4 PIM.

10)Liam Ohgren, F (SWE) 6gp/3g/6a/9pts,+4, 2 PIM.

Kemell finishes with 5gp/6g/2a/8pts. Plenty of US prospects upping their stock for this year's draft-namely McGroarty and Gauthier. Canada had a rather non-descript squad this year, but Bedard still finishes with 4gp/6g/1a/7pts.

I'll do a little write-up of my thoughts on some players when I get time.
