I think Laforest best memory thus far has to be to score a goal in a WJC. Not just any goal, but a medal round goal in the second game versus Team UCORAL and the goaltender was Samat Beibitzhanov.

Playing in Kelowna with a stacked roster, Daniel Laforest playing time took quite a dive in the playoffs. So going to the WJC and playing 2nd line minutes helped him feel a sense on involvement and a chance to contribute to the teams success. Lets take a listen to the play-by-play....

A.J Rocks-"...and thats up out into the crowd. Faceoff just left of Beibitzhanov, clean win by Laforest,....steps around his checker and snaps one on goal! Beibitzhanov surprised and beat up high. Canada takes the 1-0 lead..."

Stan "the man"- ....what an incredible move by Laforest, tapping the puck forward and sniping one home, good thing he was on the off wing and had a great angle to beat the goalie up high...."

A.J.Rocks- great shot!
