World Junior Championships

Four in a row for Canada
After victories in 2005, 2006 and 2007, Canada extends their World U20 Championship to four tonight here in Pardubice, Czech Republic. Contrarily to previous years, however, the Canadian team weren’t the clear favourites for the Gold, as they had the task of beating the tough Team Sweden, who had already beaten them earlier in tournament play. It took over 63 minutes for Team Canada to claim their 3-2 victory, and Sweden did not give it up easily.
