Team Europe landed in the United States after a tough week in Canada preparing for the World Cup of Hockey 2016.
Despite lopsided losses in two pre-tournament games against youthful Team North America in Quebec City and Montreal, Team Europe coach Ralph Krueger said he is happy with the way his blended team of players from countries that do not have a team competing in the World Cup is coming together.
Team Europe flew to Washington, D.C., after its 7-4 loss against the team of 23-and-younger United States and Canada players at Bell Centre on Sunday. It will play its final pre-tournament game against Sweden at Verizon Centre on Wednesday.
