The US began a thrilling comeback in the third period to nearly tie the game and force Over Time, however the US team couldn't complete the comeback and lost the game by a single goal, with a final score of 5-4.

Placement Games

While the US went on to lose their placement games against Germany (10-7) and Estonia, (8-7 OT), this year's WFC has been a turning point for USA Floorball. The games that were played at this tournament showcased a lot of young talent emerging for the US team, with a great sense of teamwork and player compatibility. With the further development of the U19 team and the sport getting more exposure, we are very excited to see what the future holds for Floorball in the United States.
