GoLd medal PedIGRee The United States has won the last four IIHF Men s Under-18 World Championships. Thirteen players on the 2013 U.S. National Junior Team roster have won gold medals at those SPOTLIGHT ON RILEY BARBER Height: 5-11 Weight: 194 NHL: WSH ( 12, 6th rd., 167th) Current Team: Miami University Hometown: Livonia, Mich. (suburb of Detroit) On the intensity of this tournament It s been a blast, very exciting. I think as the tournament goes on the games are only going to get even bigger. I think we started off the game against Russia very well and we can build on it throughout the tournament. On Team USA s chemistry I ve played with a lot of the guys on the team and a lot of us know each other from different places, like the U.S. National Team Development Program, and we ve gelled together. I think we are heading in the right direction. On playing with Gaudreau and Miller It s been great having the opportunity to play with Galchenyuk and Kuraly for two games and now Gaudreau and Miller for a game. I d have to say Miller likes to get in on the forecheck, use his big body in physical play. Guadreau is a guy who likes to pass. They compliment me well. With Gaudreau s passing skills, it helps me as I like to shoot. With Miller, I like to get into the forecheck as well so we can play off of each other. On his path from Pittsburgh to Detroit... I moved from Pittsburgh to Detroit before my seventh grade year, mainly for hockey. Vince Trocheck and I both went to play for Little Caesars. My family followed and we still live in Michigan, but we return to Pittsburgh a lot to see family. On Team USA s Pittsburgh connections I played with Vince Trocheck and J.T. Miller for years with the Pittsburgh Hornets. We made it al the way to the national championship game together one year. Gibson played a few seasons with us too. On his dad, Don, who played in the NHL... He s been a huge influence since I ve been younger. He s always helped me learn the game and the little things. It s awesome to have him as a resource. He coached me from when I started until I moved to Detroit. He also coached John Gibson, J.T. Miller and Vince Trocheck when we played on the Pittsburgh Hornets. 3
