It was revealed who will compete for the gold medals of the World Championship held in Canada.
Canada and the Czech Republic reach the finals of the Youth Ice Hockey World Cup. Both teams defeated their rivals in the 1/2 stage, but they did it in different ways.
The Czechs narrowly beat Sweden 2:1. The victory was won in overtime, and even at the beginning of the third period, “tre krunur” was ahead. We also note that these teams met in the group stage, and then the Scandinavians were stronger, who also won in overtime, but with a score of 3:2.
Thus, for the first time since 2005, the Czech Republic is guaranteed a World Youth Championship medal.
Meanwhile, the tournament hosts had no problem in the second semi-final with the US team. The Canadians defeated the opponent with a score of 6:2 and reached the final of the tournament for the fourth time in a row. In 2020 and 2022, the Maple Leaves became champions, and in 2021 they were content with silver.
