Bucs’ Lewis leads the way for Team USA in the Viking Cup
December 27, 2005 Three current Des Moines Buccaneers are playing for the United States Junior Select team. They opened play in the 2006 Viking Cup International Hockey tournament with an 8-4 victory over Slovakia on Monday afternoon at McLean Arena in Camrose, Alberta. Des Moines Buccaneer Trevor Lewis led the way with a hat trick in the victory. Lewis scored a goal in each of the three periods. One of which was short-handed. Buccaneer teammate, Kyle Okposo, assisted Lewis on his short-handed goal. The line that consisted of both Lewis and Okposo combined for five points in the contest. Lewis was also named as one of the captains of the team. Joining Lewis and Okposo on Team USA is Bucs’ goalie Brian Foster who didn’t see ice time versus Slovakia. The Viking Cup is scheduled to run through January 2nd. This means the Buccaneers will be without Lewis, Okposo, and goalie Brian Foster for the next three USHL games. They will rejoin the Buccaneers for their meeting at Chicago on January 6th. |
