He has twice been a member of Great Britain s Under-18 and Under-20 squads, and last year was named to the Division IA World Championship team that won gold and a promotion to the top division for the 2019 tournament. After a handful of warm-up matches preceding this year s Under-20 event, Kirk was named captain of the 22-man roster. It s the third time that Kirk has captained a Great Britain team, having earned the role for the 2017 and 2018 IIHF Under-18 Division IIA World Championships. Kirk expressed his excitement at the opportunity to The Star newspaper in Sheffield. It s a huge honour to be named the captain, it s a responsibility that I enjoy having and embrace, he said. We have so many leaders throughout the team and I m confident we will have success this year. Continued on Page 13 PAGE 8 OFFICIAL GAMEDAY PROGRAM

We have one of the best teams I ve played on at GB juniors, he added. I believe we have so much depth throughout the team and our offence should lead the tournament. His prediction wasn t wrong. As of noon on Thursday, he leads the championship with 5 goals, 7 assists, and 12 points in 4 games, approaching his 7 goal, 7 assist, and 14 point totals from last year s tournament with 1 game left to play. There are 3 Brits in the top 6 of scoring, and 6 in the top 9. Great Britain sits in 4th spot of 6 teams with a 2-2 record. They defeated Korea 13-1 and Romania 4-2, but fell 6-4 to Lithuania and 5-2 to host and tournament leaders Estonia. In Thursday s game against Romania, Kirk s 4 points moved into into a tie for 3rd place in the all-time Great Britain Under-20 record books with 30 points.
