2021 Worlds: U25 First Team
2021 Worlds: U25 Second Team
Elisa Holopainen, Forward | Finland
Holopainen had two goals and an assist at the 2019 Worlds in Espoo, so her one goal and one assist production in Calgary almost felt like a letdown. Almost.
The future of Finland averaged 1.23 P1/60 and had a 1.97 GS/60 in Calgary, which was good enough to put her inside the top-20 among U25 skaters in both categories. So, with an average ice time of 13:59 TOI/GP and a shooting percentage of just 5.9%, her two points in seven games — both primary and at evens, by the way — looks a lot more impressive.
My favorite stat of Holopainen’s from Calgary has to be her 17 iSOG (individual shots on goal). In a limited role, Holopainen put a lot of frozen rubber on net and looked every bit like the emerging young star she is. The Finns averaged just over 20 SF/GP, so her 2.43 SOG/GP is an impressive rate in a seven-game sample. Also, I think her goal means a little bit more because it was scored against Canada. As a squad, the Canadians allowed just seven goals in Calgary.

Haruka Toko, Forward | Japan
Toko played a huge role for Japan in Calgary and had tremendous chemistry with Akane Shiga. Together, they were responsible for what felt like the majority of their team’s even-strength scoring chances. Toko, 24, averaged 19:55 TOI/GP, had primary assists on four of Japan’s 12 goals, and put 22 shots on net. Really, she did it all which is partially reflected in her 2.32 GS/60 — good for 10th among U25 forwards in Calgary.
In case anyone missed it, Haruka Toko 🇯🇵 had 10 iSOG against Denmark last night and picked up a primary assist (EV) on the game-winning goal. She currently leads all skaters in the tournament in shots on goal.
— Mike Murphy (@DigDeepBSB) August 22, 2021
The real shame here is that much of what Toko brought to the picture doesn’t appear in box scores or, therefore, in Game Score. She made numerous crafty, clever plays to move the puck through the neutral zone and displayed an excellent understanding of the game. In that respect, she really stood out from the conservative, structured play that underlined the play of so many of her teammates on Smile Japan.
One can only hope that Toko’s hockey sense is infectious and enhances the potential of her teammates on the Japanese national team.
Fanuza Kadirova, Forward | ROC
Kadirova has been one of my favorite young Russian players to watch for a few years. She shows flashes of top-shelf talent and has been better than a point-per-game player in the ZhHL for SK Gorny and Dynamo-Neva St. Petersburg since 2015-16.
In Calgary, she averaged 2.09 GS/60 and 1.21 P1/60 and had three assists — two of which were primary — at evens for the Russian squad in seven games. That’s helpers on one out of every three even-strength goals for ROC in Calgary. That’s quite a stat for someone averaging just 14:07 TOI/GP.
Russia strikes again! It's a 3-2 game! What a play by Fanuza Kadirova to set up Oxana Bratisheva. That backhand pass was beautiful. pic.twitter.com/gpsbuM399O
— Mike Murphy (@DigDeepBSB) August 29, 2021
Kadirova, 23, will likely be a staple on Russia for several years but she still has the potential to be more than a middle-six forward. Her development continues to be something to keep an eye on.
Ella Shelton, Defense | Canada
Shelton may not have shined as brightly as Claire Thompson in the box score, but she had an excellent tournament in her own right. She finished with the fifth-best GS/60 (1.84) among U25 defenders who played at least four games in Calgary and that number was dragged down by her two minor penalties.
Seeing limited ice in her role, averaging 14:32 TOI/GP and picking up two assists and a goal at evens to go along with her first gold medal at Worlds. Shelton, 23, displayed much of the consistency that made her a star and eventually a captain at Clarkson.
1st goal feelings all around for Canada 🇨🇦🚨

This is hardly a hot take, but I would not be surprised to see Shelton’s role increase significantly in coming tournaments. Truth be told, much of the same can be said of 21-year-old Ashton Bell, who managed to stand out with several big plays in her even more limited role of 11:53 TOI/GP and finished with just as many points and a nearly identical GS/60 (1.82) as Shelton.
Saskia Maurer, Goalie | Switzerland
It feels unfair that Maurer ends up as only an honorable mention here but she was simply overshadowed by Anni Keisala of Finland and Klára Peslarová of the Czech Republic.
Saskia Maurer. Again. pic.twitter.com/NF5dFyf3QT
— Mike Murphy (@DigDeepBSB) August 28, 2021
Maurer was a sensation for the Swiss in her four appearances. She finished with a .942 Sv% against an average workload of 33.64 SA60. Two of the seven goals Maurer allowed were scored while she was shorthanded and she posted an impressive 0.985 GSAA/60 in all situations. Her numbers, generally speaking, were a clear cut above Andrea Brändli’s and Brändli was hardly a disappointment with her .905 Sv% playing exclusively against Group A teams.
All things considered, Maurer was fantastic. She may only have finished with one win but she held her own against the best offenses in the tournament. Somewhere, Florence Schelling is still smiling about Maurer’s performance.
