PLYMOUTH, Mich. - Three different players scored, but the U.S. National Under-17 Team dropped a 6-3 contest to the Green Bay Gamblers tonight from inside USA Hockey Arena.

AJ Garcia (Romeoville, Ill.) opened scoring just 58 seconds into the game, getting his stick on a Jonas Kemps (Santa Rosa, Calif.) shot from the point for the redirect. Abe Barnett (Wilmette, Ill.) earned an assist on the play as well.
