RPI hockey player succeeding on World stage

RPI freshman Jerry D'Amigo scored twice last night in the World Junior Championships to help lead the US team into the finals against Canada. D'Amigo's first goal tied the game at two in the second period, and his second gave the Americans a comfortable 4-2 lead on their way to a 5-2 victory over the Swedes of Sweden. Hey, someone get that kid a beer, uh, an RPI girl, um, some lube and a tissue? Anyway, the victory prevented a third straight finals matchup between Sweden and Canada. The US will skate for the gold against their cuddly neighbors to the north on Tuesday at 8 PM. Be sure to tune into the NHL Network to see how it all turns out! Just kidding, I know you won't watch. Be sure to tune in to the blog Wednesday when I forget to update you with the results!
