Jake
Allen's best Christmas gift might not come from under the tree this
year. Rather it was upon hearing the news that he has made this year
World Junior squad
After not playing at all in the game on
Thursday night against the CIS Saskatchewan all-star team, one might
have thought that was the sign Allen had made this years World
Junior Team. It is now evident the staff took Thursday night to try
and find Jake's goaltending partner, as Jake Allen has made the 2010
version of Canada's World Junior team.
So far this season Allen has posted
impressive numbers during the regular season with his QMJHL team,
the Montreal Juniors. In addition, Allen performed strongly this
August at the World Junior development camp. His performance this
week as well at camp has been certainly up to par. With all of this
being said, Jake has accomplished the dream that many of us have,
playing for our country at Christmas time.
It is no shock that Jake has arrived at
this point in his life. Allen is a young athlete that understands
the true sense of the word ‘professionalism’. Even from a young age,
Allen was always focused on being better everyday. It is this type
of attitude that propels individuals to the top in whatever they do.
Allen, continually pushes himself, as he realizes he is not just
competing against someone in his own area or region in the world.
Goaltending is a global position and if one wants to be on the world
stage, you must become one of the best in the world. Plain and
simple.
With this we congratulate Jake and his
family.
We ask you to stay tuned over the
Christmas break and during the tournament as we will have daily
coverage of Jake right here on our
site!! (back to top)
Royal
Military Collage rookie goaltender, Andrew Flemming came up big

UNB
Varisty Reds goaltender, Travis Fullerton recorded his second

the league. (back to top)
MJAHL
Amherst Junior A Ramblers goaltender, Jon Waye earned his first
shutout of the season in a 3 - 0 victory over the visiting Dieppe
Commandos in Amherst tonight. Waye stopped all 31 shots he
faced including 13 in the final period. Waye saw limited
action last season as he backed up former net minder Andrew Flemming
but has seen the bulk of the action as the "go to guy" logging just
under 1000 minutes so far this year. (back to top)
St. Thomas Lady Tommies,
goaltender, Kristin Wolfe, recorded her first win of the season on
Saturday. The Tommies defeated the home town
Mount Allison team 4 - 2. Wolfe stopped 20 of 24 shots to give
St. Thomas it's first win of the season. Wolfe, a former standout
goaltender at Birkshire School (Prep USA) for three years, led her
team to a Division I Championship in 2006 and was selected team
Captain in her last season. (back to top)
Second year UNB goaltender, Travis
Fullerton made it three wins in a
row to start the AUS season with a 7 - 4 road victory on Saturday
night against St. Mary's Huskies. Fullerton's second win came
on
Friday with a 3 - 2 win over Acadia Axmen, also on the road.
He was selected the game's first star in this contest. The
season opener saw Fullerton register a shut out, 10 - 0, victory
over the UPEI Panthers in UNB's home opener. (back to top)
After recording back to back
wins, Royal Military College (OUA) goaltender, Andrew Flemming
(former Amherst Rambler - MJAHL) had to settle for a tie and a
subsequent shoot out loss to the hands of Ottawa on Friday night.

(3 - 2). (back to top)

This write
up on AG client, Jake Allen
(Currently ranked #39 overall by Red Line for 2008 NHL Entry Draft) was taken from "Fast Hockey"
which is one of the highest profile web sites on hockey in the US.
"The following reports all come
from the World Under-18 Championships in Kazan, Russia.
Was truly the star of the entire tournament. Took the No.
1 job and ran with it, never giving the coaches any reason to look
elsewhere.
Showed quick legs/pads and a strong glove hand. Moves side-to-side
well and is very well balanced in his stance. Anticipates well and
showed fine athleticism and flexibility. Angles shots off to corners
with both the stick and blocker; overall rebound control is good.
Bounced back well mentally after loss to Russia in round robin play
and was superb in the three medal round games, allowing only three
total goals and shutting out Russia in the Finals. Never let in any
softies all week, and his concentration level was terrific."
