D'Orio Makes 29 Stops In Canada Win

Alex D’Orio made 29 saves to backstop Canada Black to a come-from-behind 4-3 shootout victory over the Czech Republic yesterday at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge.

Canada Black was outshot 13-2 in the first period and 32-18 overall. They were down 2-0 midway through the first thanks to Czech goals that came 19 seconds apart. Canada tied the game in the second and again in the third.

Sea Dogs forward Joe Veleno finished the game with an assist – his second in as many games. He was the second Canadian in the shootout but did not score.

The Hockey House has a great recap of the game and D’Orio’s performance in net.

Canada Black returns to action tonight when they face the United States at 10 p.m. AST in Dawson Creek, BC.
