Latvia would jump out to a quick start in the first period with two goals just 40 seconds apart as Daugavins and Hamilton scored to make it 2 to 0. Those would be the only two goals of the first period as Latvia outshot Austria 14 to 5. Austria would get a power play chance shortly after the halfway point of the second period and King would score his 4th to cut the lead to 2 to 1. However, Latvia would get a late power play chance themselves in the second period and Johnson would score his 3rd to put Latvia back up by a two goal margin at 3 to 1. Austria would outshoot Latvia 16 to 7 in the second period but still couldn’t close the gap to less than two goals heading into the third period. Austria could only muster 6 shots in the third period to Latvia’s 5 and neither country would score as Latvia held on for the 3 to 1 win even though they were outshot by Austria 27 to 26. Berger made 23 saves as his record was 5-4-1 in the round robin portion of the tourney.

Kinsler, Pellegrino and Vader each had nine points to lead Austria in the tournament. Kinsler, King and Kennedy each had four goals to lead their country while Vader had nine assists. Berger went 5-4-1 with a 2.68 GAA, .896 save percentage and one shutout in goal.

Medal Round Matchup -- #4 Austria Austria vs #1 Germany Germany

With a loss in their last round robin game, Austria dropped to 4th in their group and had to face off against the #1 Germans from the other group.
The first period was very defensive and boring to be quite honest as the teams combined for just seven shots on goal – four by Germany and three by Austria, but neither team was able to score in the period. Austria even had a power play chance in the period but could not score. Much of the same in the second period but with a little more shots as Germany had 9 shots on goal while Austria had 8, but once again neither country could score as the game went into the third period tied at 0-0. Germany did have a power play chance in the second but did not score either. Vader took an interference call early in the third period and Scholz would cash in on the power play just over two minutes into the period to give Germany a 1-0 lead. Austria did outshoot Germany 11 to 8 in the period, but the Germans added a late empty net goal to seal the deal and win the matchup 2 to 0 en route to their gold medal. Berger made 19 saves on 20 shots, but Haas was just one better with the shutout.

From their performance in the round robin and then losing to Germany in the first round of the medal round, Austria was able to move up 4 spots in the world rankings from #11 overall to #7 as they passed up countries like Norway, Canada, Finland and the Czechs.

You could join the big nations like Canada & USA but you'll be waiting a while before making it on their roster...

Why not join Austria instead? With a smaller pool of players you'll be able to play internationally faster than most of your class! (Plus we're on the rise and generally awesome).
