Scrivens relishes opportunity to represent Canada, grow game down-under

Perth Thunder broadcaster Luke Worthington caught up with Ben Scrivens after Team Canada's 6-5 shootout victory over Team USA at Perth Arena.

After a solid season in the back-up role with the Montreal Canadiens, former Maple Leafs and Marlies goalie Ben Scrivens has made his way ‘down-under’ to Australia to play for Team Canada in the 2016 Wayne Gretzky Ice Hockey Classic in association with the not-for-profit organisation StopConcussions.

After leading Team Canada to an 8-2 Game 1 victory in Melbourne, Scrivens was named the Haigh and Hastings MVP, backed up by a strong effort in Perth for game two, lifting his side to a 6-5 shootout win.
