Bedard shines as Canada downs Latvia 5-2 at world junior hockey championship
Team Canada needed some time to shake off the rust as they embarked on a late-summer campaign for gold.
“I know a coach is never happy with the game, but considering the time of year and where we’re at in this tournament, I think it was good.” said head coach Dave Cameron. Canada’s Connor Bedard makes a move past Latvia’s Rihards Simanovics during second period IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship action in Edmonton on Wednesday, August 10, 2022.“It always feels good to score, especially that first one of the tournament,” said Bedard, an early favourite to go first overall in the 2023 NHL entry draft.
Latvia got nine seconds of five-on-three play midway through the third when Greig was called for hooking after Kent Johnson had already been sent to the box for delay of game. Just four seconds into the man advantage, Hodas — a Medicine Hat Tigers defenceman — ripped a shot off from the top of the faceoff circle, sailing the puck over Cossa’s pad.Woman missing since 1980 was living outside of Canada the whole time, recently died: Ottawa policeDufour gave the Canadians some breathing room with 5:16 to go in the third period.
