As for Cats news on the hockey side, The Hockey News is projecting goalie prospect Spencer Knight as the favorite to win the starting job for Team USA in the 2020 World Junior Championship in its roster projection article after witnessing his performance at the World Junior Summer Showcase.

As expected, Knight will lead the charge for the Americans after going No. 13 to Florida in June. Knight played in four games (* including the USA Blue on White scrimmage), allowing just four goals and making many high-quality stops as the tournament’s best goaltender. The Americans brought him to the 2019 world juniors as the third goalie to learn from the experienced veterans before embarking on this season as the team’s go-to option. Dustin Wolf has the edge as backup right now, but he’ll likely be saved for games against teams like Germany in the round-robin.
