Vincent Iorio led the team in ice time and brought a physical presence, while Joaquim Lemay Chesley contributed offensively.Goaltender Clay Stevenson performed admirably, while Mitchell Gibson looked solid in his stint. However, it was Garin Bjorklund who truly stood out, stopping all 12 shots he faced and dominating the shootout.Key takeaways from the game include the fierce competition among young talent, the potential of a Milano-Lapierre-Beauvillier third line, and an intensifying goalie battle in Hershey.
