The Canadian women advance to Sunday’s gold-medal game while getting revenge on the Czech Republic following a 4-2 win on Saturday in the semifinals at the women’s U18 hockey world championship in Finland.
Stryker Zablocki scored a goal and added an assist, and Chloe Primerano chipped in with two helpers.
Canada also gained a measure of revenge on the Czechs. It was in last year’s tournament where the Czech Republic stunned the Canadians in the semis.
The win means Canada finds itself in another gold-medal battle against the defending champion Americans, who held off Sweden 2-1 in the first semifinal game.
All previous editions of the U18 world championship have been either won by the U.S. (9) or Canada (7).
More to come.
