OHA Alumni Competing for Gold Medal

OHA Alumni, Luke Walker, will compete for a gold medal as his Team USA takes on Team Canada in the World Junior Hockey Championship gold medal game on Tuesday.

Walker, a Portland Winter Hawk scoring star, is the perseverance story of the World Junior Championships this year. Returning only 7 days after having a steel plate inserted in his jaw after being struck by a puck, Walker made Team USA after a strong training camp in Grand Forks, North Dakota.

The gold medal game is a rematch of the New Years Eve thriller that saw Canada come from behind to beat the American's in a shootout. Game time is 5:00 pm Pacific Time.
