Mike Lee, Dean Blais to compete for Gold

Former Fargo Force player Mike Lee and coach Dean Blais will be competing in the IIHF World Junior Championship Gold Medal game on Tuesday, January 5.  What a tournament for two people from our organization to be a part of as they will be competing for the Gold medal on Tuesday.  Team USA has not won this tournament since 2004.  2004 was also the last time that Canada has not won the Gold medal so there is another streak that can be snapped with a United States victory.

Mike Lee is 4-0 at the IIHF World Junior Championships and is likely to start against Canada in the Gold medal game after a solid performance against the heavily favored Swedes.  Lee has put up some outstanding numbers to go along side the four wins.  He currently has a 92.86% save percentage and 2.00 goals against average.
