In women’s hockey, three players scored a pair of goals and Brock University netminder Beth Clause of Hamilton earned the shutout as Canada improved to 4-0 in the preliminary with a 9-0 domination of the United States. With one round-robin game remaining, the Canadians top the standings and have long secured a spot in the semifinals. See separate game recap for women’s hockey.
In men’s hockey, Carleton University forward Brandon MacLean of Burlington, Ont., scored the game-winning goal midway through the third period on the power play to help the red-and-white to a 3-2 win over the Koreans. University of Waterloo forward Chris Ray of Kelowna, B.C., netted the first two goals for the Canadians, who outshot their rivals 61-16 in the contest. Canada ends round-robin play with two wins and a shootout loss and is qualified for Thursday’s quarter-finals. See separate game recap for men’s hockey.
